Here are spaoi men tost questions, on which the interest of politicians of all partiea are one way, and that of the publio is the other way. If Mr. Marshall, Mr. Chittenden and the other non political members of the Committee, want to know whether tho Troey, Dutoher and Jpurdan element of their Committee is actuated by publio spirit or by partisanship in framing a new charter, let them press these points upon the Committee and sea how they are received. Our own belief is that Mr.

Tracy merely wants to promote his per sonal power as ringmaster by identifying non political citizens like Messrs. Marshall and Chittenden with schemes conceived solely in the partisan interest of the Three Graces. Such a test as we suggest would soon tell the merchant element of the Committee whether they are being used as cats' paws of the Tracy ring, or whether they are being hon estly consulted and deferred to in the interest of the general publio. Tho Contrast. We'announced yesterday two resignations, and two appointments instead thereof.

Mr. B. B. Connolly resigned tho Comptrollorship of New York, and Mr. A.

H. Green is appoint ed by Mayor Hall in his place. Mr. Thomas Murphy resigned the Collectorship of Now York, and Gen. C.

A. Arthur was appointed by President Grant in his place. Mr. Con nolly and Mr. Murphy are two men of pre cisely the same type.

They are to day partners in Tweed's real estate speculations. They were bothmombers in good standing of the ring of which Tweed was the chief. Tweed caused Connolly to bo made Comptroller, and he also caused Murphy to be made Commissioner for widening Broadway, Until Murphy found out that there was more money to be made by joining tho Grant ring, ho never pretended not to belong to the Tweed ring. But when by giving Grant a cottage at Long Branch Murphy bought tho appointment to the Collectorship, he found it expedient to drop as far as ho could his visible connection with Tweed. Consequently he resigned but not until after he was made Collector the Broadway widening Commissionership, and he caused his man, C.

A. Arthur, ts re sign a comfortable berth of $10,000 a year, which Murphy's influence with Twoed had procured for him, that of Counsel to the Tammany Tax Commissioners. The misdeeds of Connolly are well known. Ho paid fraudulent claims of vast amount from the New York city treasury and he made a vast fortune by taking shares from the public money he fraudulently paid away. The misdeeds of Murphy are equally noto rious.

During the war ho was a shoddy con tractor, supplying to the army hats so worth less that the experts who testified about them declared that nothing worse in the shape of a hat could be got to hold together. They were made of shoddy, and stuck together by gum shellac, and wore certain to decom pose in the first rain, and leave the soldiers to go bareheaded and catch colds and sustain sunstrokes. Then Murphy, Tweed controll ing the ballotbox, was electod a ltopublioan State Senator from a Democratic district in New York. Having counted him in, Tweed made him work for the ring, passing its tax levies and all the swindling laws Tweed want ed for New York City. It was time, there fore, that both these bad men, Connolly and Murphy, should be driven out of office.

But see the contrast in the way they go. Connolly goes out penitent and abashed. He does not return the stolen money, but he at least apologizes for having stolen it. He says Conscious of many shortcomings in the discharge of rov onerous and varied duties. I desire tint uiv course of action, in a crisis of so much importance, and in a matter so deeply affecting tho interests of tho public, may be such as au good citizens may approve.

And so ho consults ex Mayor Havemey or, the honest old Chairman of the Reform meeting, as to how he can best serve the people in quitting his post, and so do something to atone for the wrongs ho has inflicted on thom. Mr. Havemeyer tells him to give him tho resignation, and he will part with it only when Mayor Hall agrees to namo an undoubt edly honest man as successor. Mr. Havemeyer holds the resignation two mouths, un til Mayor Hall agrees to appoint Mr.

Green. And so the public get, not another Connolly in office, but a man of the exactly opposite sort. But while Connolly goes out penitent and atoning to some extent for tho wrong ho has done, the other knave, Murphy, goes out with a flourish of trumpets. Ho says to Grant: 1 have teen sustained by the consciousness of my own rectitude, and or tho fact that duriug my otHcial term I have enjoyed uniuteruptedly, and still retain, your counutiice uiKiiinimsnea rne vituperation ot my ac cusers. And Grant echoes the brazen sound of this boasting trickster.

Says he Yon have had my unqualified confidence over sinco you entered tuo olhce 01 Collector. You had that confidence before or tho appointment would not have Deen itndcn you. That confidence is still unshaken, and in accepting your resignation I desire to give you the miler asuxauce ol tuiB lact. Vt nether you remain in or out ol ouice time will convince a just public ot your entire n.nocence oi mo cuarges orougut against you. Ui the public records of New York, Mur phy is still the registered partner of Connolly and Tweed, in lueir real estate jobs.

The resignation of Murphy, as one of the Commis sioners of Tweed's Broadway widening swin dle, is dated long subsequent to his accept ance of the Collectorship. Hi3 guilt as a member of the thieving Tweed ring is clear as that of Connolly or of Tweed himself. Yet while Connolly, tho penitent thief, sneaks out of office to make room for an honest man, Murphy is allowed to march out, with a tos from the President of the republic, and with the privilege of choosing his succes sor and he chooses his own next friend aud tool, Arthur, who, like himself, was Tweed's employ and pay, until after tho Presi dent took them into his confidence and ser vice, and they found there was more money to be made in tho new Grant federal Ring than in tho old Tweed city Ring. The contrast is enough to startle those Re publicans who aro honest men, and anxious tor reform of publio abuses. It should awaken them to the conviction that tho fed eral administration needs overhauling just as badly as did that of New York city.

The race of plundering politicians that have grown up since tho war are tho same, whether they call themselves Democrats or Republicans. They are alike in hastening to get rich at tho pub lie expense, and in pleading devotion to party as a pretext for being placed where they can plunder. Tho dismissal of an honorable erchunt like Moses Grinnell to make way for a shoddy speculator and Tweed ite like Murphy as Collector, was an outrage. Grant's retaining Murphy in office so long, while Re publicans ISf.e Wm. E.

Dodgo proclaimed that Murphy was tho most unfit man that could be named for the place, was a further outrage. And now, tha letting Murphy till his placo with his own tool and servant, Arthur, aud the President's ostentatious testimonial of unqualified confidence in Murphy, aro a greator outrage than all. The Committee of Seventy cannot too soon subject tho Custom House affairs to tlie same scrutiny which has pro dnced such good result when applied to the Court House. AVorlf for Women, Society rests firmly in tho conviction that it is not for the happiness or good repute of woman that she shall vote, or hold office, or share with men the ruder collisions of the public life of society. This conviction by no means ignores woman capacity or under values her industry.

If she keep3 out of the crowd at the polls and does not join in the scramblo for political placo, there is still enough for her to do. At least half of tho world's work is hers. Perhaps tho domestic aud social interests, in which she is properly preeminent, constitute a good deal more than half the world's work. Certainly it is not the least worthy, interesting, and important half. It is not a violent assumption that it is paramount in all these elements.

It htm its trivial incidents, but thoy are hard ly more mean and potty than those of tho other half. He is a very shallow philosopher who underestimates woman's work or would try to force her out of the sphere into which she naturally fits. But while society dismisses tho spurious reform with becoming contempt, it is learning to rocognize tho possibility and the expediency of a gonuino ro form. Man's work was long ago reducod to a system or at least tho necossity of such a systematic process was conceded. The same reasonable rule holds ns to woman's work.

Whilo woman's work is domestic aud social in the more restricted sense, anil while it will naturally aud inovita bly fall within those limitations, it is proper, it shall submit itself to scientific) order, bo that shall be most efficiently performed and bo impaired by the least possible wasU. There is room for eoienco in tho kitchen, in the nursery, in the several feminine sooial ac tivities. Women whose time is not whouy ocoupied by home duties may find amplo opportunities for liveliest industry in worthy work outside of home. Suoh are tho Vfuaous charitable and religious institutions, and the effective utilizing in these of woman's tact and eeal is claiming tha attention of all branches of the Christian church. This was the subject of the address delivered by Dean Howson, of England, at St.

Ann's on the Heights, and reported in the Eaqlb. It deserves notice, not merely for its intrinsio interest, but for the significant aot that a representative foreigner makes the subject tha topio of his first words to oxa oitisens. The fast shows that, abroad as well as in this country, the value of woman's legitimate work is well understood, and that the best means of making her industry available are thought worthy the most serious consideration. The Custom House Cost. Murphy, in his resignation, takes credit for economy in collecting the federal revenue at the port of New York.

Ho says that from August 1, 1870, until October 81, 1871, fifteen months, he has collected one hundred aud eighty eight million dollars, and has charged the government for his trouble two millions, seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars, or in round numbers, one dollar and a half per hundred dollars. Even if this were all if there had not been many millions of dollars' wotth of prop erty stolon from tha packages between its leaving the ship in Custom House care and its delivery to tho importer even if there had not been millions more made by the officials in "compromising" cases of attempted fraud on the revenue if the two millions and threo quarters which Murphy confesses to have retained, was all the money he and his deputies had received during tho fifteen months, it would be a monstrous ox travagance, instead of tho economy which he brazenly protends it to be. For this collection is not liko business collection, where the creditor has to hunt up the debtors all over the land and persuade them to pay. The Collector has simply to hold out his hand and take the money. He doeB not part with the goods until ho gets the money.

It is brought to him, instead of his fetching it. It comes in in vast sums, and all the trouble about it is to give a receipt. And for this, in a matter of over half a mil lion dollars a day, Mr. Murphy has charged one and a half per cent, just for taking money brought to him and he calls that economical service of the government. Lot business men try to realize these enor mous figures Mr.

Murphy and his deputies have pocketed six thousand dollars a day for their services in receiving the revenue paid to the government by the importing merchants of New York city, and thoy have the amazing impudence to claim that this is honest and cheap service of our over burdenod taxpayers. So far from this, it is as scandalous a robbery as any that Tweed himself has committed. The six thousand dollars a day is ten times as much as need be paid. It is used to make a Collector a rnillionairo in a year or two, and to support, in idleness and dissipation and political intrigue, a swarm of politicians to run Republican primaries in the Collector's interest, not only in Brooklyn and New York, but all over the State, and even in Jersey aud other States. The Chamber of Commerce knows this to bo true, so does tho Committee of Seventy, and so does every importing merchant.

Surely the men who have bogun so well to reform the city government of New York, will not their hand until thoy havo dono some thing toward reforming tho, if possible, worse abominations aud abuses of polities in the Custom House. Rev, Dr. Scticilck, tlo UiissiiMis and the American I'rcss. When clergymen of a certain temperament take possession of the platform they are wont to wake up to the possibilities of epithets. Rev.

Dr. Noah Hunt Schenck, Rector of St. Ann's on tho Heights, was received officially, last night, at Association Hall, in conjunction with his Evangelical allies, who went out in tho Russia to Russia last Summer. The reverend doctor has long since returned and has been preaching acceptably in Brooklyn for months. His very first sermon gave an account of hiB stewardship abroad, and was printed in the Eagle very nearly in full.

But last night it was thought best formally to re ceive the Evangelical Allies, as wo said, and on that occasion the reverend gentleman bluntly Baid that somebody had been responsible for a groat deal of lying about tho Evan gelical Allies, and their work and reception abroad. A comparison of what Bev. Dr. Schenck said last night and has said before, with what the Associated Press has said on the same subject does not permit us to sus tain tho Doctor's epithet. He says they wont to Russia and memorialized Gortschakoff in the mattor of the religious right of tho Baltic Provincial Christians.

So did the Associated Press. He says their momorial was received, listened to, So did tho Associated Presu. But the latter went further than the Doctor. While ho was crossing the ocean en route homeward the Associated Press declared by the cable that Gortschakoff had asked tho Secretary of the Evangelical Allies to withdraw their memorial, and had declined to present it to the Czar at all, on the ground that Russia brooked no interfer ence or suggestion from abroad concerning her treatment, religious or otherwise, of her subjects. It all depends now upon the construction put upon this whether or not the epithet of being "snubbed," against which Dr.

Schenck so protests, is justified, or whether such epithet deserves the characterization of "lying," which Rev. Dr. Schonek applies thereto. The verdict of almost anybody elso than Rev. Dr.

Schenck, himself a party in moral intorest, would bo to the effect that the Allies did not make very much progress, to say the least. The Reverend gentleman felicitates himself and colleagues upon having sown in Russia the seed of religious and civil freedom. Ho is sure it oill take ultimate root. So are a 11 men who have liberal and enlightened views convinced that, in timo, not Russia only, but all the world will be free, and that religious and civil liberty will ho secured everywhere under the sun. But when that glad day dawns, tho claim of tho Evangelical Allir of having produced it, will be so proportioned among other influences as to be almost invisible.

The scod of freedom scattered by the Allies, tfas carefully gathered up and returned to them. It was not let even fall to tho ground and die, that it might bring forth fruit. The reverend gentleman may not know, and ho may, that his momorial was not received oxcept to be returned; that no Russian mind has over read it in its own lan guage, and that Russia at large ia about as acquainted with the memorial as with the text of the Doeter's last sorinoH. Wo do not understand why Dr. Schenck and tho other allies should get into such a heat about having been snubbed.

It was discreditable solely to the Russians, if they were snubbed. The mission and utterance of the Evangolical Allies, except in so far as tho latter wantonly misattributed Lincoln's emancipation dodge to religious motives, whon it was purely par tisan and military in its reason and accomplishment, wore entitled to and received sympathy and approval. The best answer to whether they were snubbed or not, is the fact whether their papor was returned to them or not. This succoss, too, will be as eaBily determined. Did they accomplish their purposes, or are the Baltic Provincial Christians still under the harrow of intolerance Tho Brooklyn Investigation.

Tho Committoe has detailed its subcommittees to tho various departments, and, in a few days, the truth will bo known.

SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Rase Ball TnH November Play. Tho cold aud rainy weather wo have had of late has prevented any ball playing in thin vicinity, but should we havo any ludian Summer weather this month, thero will bo a few more games played. Tho Juniors havo not ceasod play yot, and the crack clubs of that class of tho fratornity ore still trjing to win tho silver ball. From present ap pen rime as there willnot be more than six or soven pro lessional nines in the arena next season, and of thesa' but four will bo specially prominont, viz.

The Athletic, Beaton, Hajmaner, aud Cleveland Clubs. The Mu tails are making no effort to organize for tho campaign oi mix, on any oase UKoiy to maao them prominent contestants. What they may do by next Spring iu anotbor thing. But clubs tbat intend to be ftroug should organizo now. By Murch nest matorinl of the best kind will scarce.

The critical condition of politioal affairs in tho metropolis lies put a stop to several base ball entorpriees. the ready cash availably last season not boing now at commaad; besido whioh the opportunity for sinecure places for ball tosses is not now available, the reform movement having stoppod that source of professional club aFsiotanc. i'he Stars promise to organize strong, but if they do they must come out as professionals, and not any longor on tho amateur basis, as it Ib smpossi Dio ior any ciuu to uavo a co operative nine nor a nine which divides gate monoy and yet be run as an amateur club. Tho Eokford uino has been disbanded, and it is about tho only thin" they have done witn unanimity. Thisnino should not have lost a scries this season with the material tbey had.

Ib the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "Whilo pjiflsinpr along Henry street, between Remsen and Joralemon streets, on Monday afternoon, between tho hours of two and threo o'clock, during the heavy Bhowcr of rain, I was much astonished to sco au object fall on tho ground beforo' me whioh, on approaching, I discovered, greatly to my astonishmont, to be a small ilsh about three inches long, I immediately looked to bco from what quarter it had come rut it being iu front of a vacant lot it ia impossible Unit it could havo been thrown from a window.

Radical Reform Warned To th4 Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle If the exposure of the frauds practised by the Tammany Ring has tho effect of removing tho acalot from loyal ayes, bo that tbey ean behold the iniquity of our rulers throughout our land, somo hope may bo entertained of reform witbout tha aid of vigilante committees, ka klux klani, or any organization outside ot tho Constitution. I would like to suggest to that eminontlr loyal, patriotic aud partisan journal, flio New Tork Times, tbat tho people now oipoct it to expose, and not conoeaJ, "the power to plunder" which the Loyal Ring that now encircles tho Foderal and many of tbe State governments, is exerclaiag.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Saturday's Eagle charged the Methodist with perpetrating a "small fraud." in issuing a placard announcing as a "Beecher Talk" what was mostly a "Tyler Talfe." As wo should avoid ovon the appearance of evil, I beg to explain The person who ordered the handbill had not read the 'Talk," but procured tho titlo from the compositor who was setting it up, and who bad not read aa far as Mr.

Tyler's remarks. The paper was out, and the handbills distributed beforo I discovered that Mr. Beecher did not do all the talking. He did enough, however, to warrant putting his name on tho bill, but yet not enough to call it a "Talk by him in South Africa." Truly yours, G. C.

Hamted, Publisher of Jfetltodtot. PtailUarmonlc KeUoffg 7b the Editor of tlie Brooklyn Eagle I think that the fact will bft ptoren beyond question on Saturday night next that the Directors of tho Brooklyn Philharmonic Socioty aoted wisely when they engaged MIbb Clara Louis 0 Kellogg as the vocalist for their first concert. Through tho tricks of managomcnt this oharmlng stager baa boon prevented from appearing in opera either In New York or Brooklyn during tho present operatic season, and as this will be tho only opportunity afforded for bearing her in concert prior to hot departure for Oarlifornia, tbo lady's many admireiB in Brooklyn will undoubtedly jjjj mu jwuuouiy tu repieuon on mat occasion, jmjbb Kellogg, American born, Amoriean taught, American in feolhig, represents America in song, and, though hor olalms and merits as an American artist have been persistently ignored at the dreary abodo of opera in Irving Tlace, they will bo acknowledged and appreciated in Brooklyn by a class of neonlo as comnetent to recognize truo art as, on a former occasion, they wore quiea: in resenting an attempted Insult to thoir intclU sence. Robinson and the Busy Hoe Club. To the Editor of the Brookljn Eagle: I would feel much obliged if vou would grant mo a small space in your columns to mako a few remarKH concerning a letter wincu v.

15. ltobmson read at tho rooent meeting of his friends In Brooklvn Hall. 1 I would not consider it worth while to refer to tho letter in queBUou wore it not to show how tho aicb doceiuf (W. E. Robinson) can so impose on a man hitherto supposed to he honorable, as to write a docid ea fulBetiooa.

'I he person to whom I refer is cue J. litilly, a member of the Tenth Ward Busy Bee Club, alio a rum siller. I was at the meeting on Monday evening, November when the resolution which appeared in tho Eagle was moved, seconded nnd unanimously adopted by the mid Busy Beu Social Club, aud furthermore there wis a committee appomtoa on the spot to wait on tho regular Democratic leaders and plodgo the undivided support of tbe Busy Bm Club, and this J. Beilly requested to bo added to tho committee so appointed. I would abio state that in walking from the meeting room to his own house, in company nith the gentlemen who had been invited to address the meeting by tho President and Secretary iu my preseuoo, ho mado the following assertion "I knew all along that tho candidature of theso fellows was a fraud, but could not got them (tho Buwv Boe Club) to share my opinion." Ho also made the strongest profcssieuB of attachment to the regular Democratic) party.

p. qui nit Replies to the Store. lo the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I am in tribulation. Iam all fuss and feathers I I sit in saokeloth and aBhes In fact I feel nix come arouse. When a man writes to the daily papers he, of course, mint expect to bo attacked In return, but I did not dream of waking up such a formidable opponont as Mr.

Gabriel Harrison, a gentleman for whom I have tho higbcbt respect, aud who ia likewise an old acquaintance of mine, though he don't know it. I accept Mr. Harrison's explanation aa to the pervewity of (shall I eny strolling) Operatic Managers, and beg to assure him although it is not convenient to my preEent ideas to throw off mynom de ptume, I have no sinister motive in my remarks, ana for one should bo very sorry to be tho cause of injuring any of the employes of tbo Academy, or any other institution. Aud I think I oan call upon no better person than the euitor of tho Eagle to attest to the absurdity of supposing that I should attack the atige management of that esfablinhment in order to get a berth there mvelf. No.

What I have aimed at in all my letters in to obtain a reform from the mismanagement bo hiatorioally notorious at this placo of amuso munt. air. Harrison could not have read my previous letter with the eauio attention that ho gave to the last, or ho would have aeon that I complimented tho improvement ot tho stage department on tho night Miss Cushman played Mcj Mcrrffien. Ercept that I remarked on tbo incongruity of permitting the cave scene in Rob Jloy to do service tor tho interior of tho cavern in whieh Dirk Uatteraick hid, my attacks were then directed at tho action of tho play and the backebdings of tho orchostra aud chorus. I am much obliged to Mr.

Harrison for his kind invitition to go behind the scones; but as I havo been there bo fore, I will not trouble him. Id his explanation of tha troubles, he, Mr. Weir and the chief carpenter have to obtain scene plots of tho various companies, ho unconsciously suggests an immediate remedy. Let Mr. Weir make it an invariable rulo to insist upon having that given in at tho timo of engaging tho house, or at least beforo the day of performance.

I observe in "a reply from the etegc," that while earnest endeavor is mado to throw as much blame as possible on the unfortunate Teutonic Stago Manager, the night Wachtel appeared, thero is no accounting for that unfortunate gooseberry bush, or aa Mr. artistically calls rose bush. What a rose to smell so sweet I He Eays theso mistakes only happen on opera night. Now, hadl not, as well as many of tho Brooklyn pub lie, seen them occur on otber occaalouB, I would willingly take his word for it. Such things havo occurred as a whole fiat to fall hoavily on the stage, "raising the wind" (dust) considerably.

Now, I do not think it is the stage manager's (pro (em) business either to shift or brace tho scenery. Nor ought he to bo called to account when two half Acts, tho ono representing a portion of an interior, and the other tbat of an exterior, aro rim on at a change. It was with much pleasure that I read Mr. Harrison's promise of new scenes. His is quite as skiHful a pencil thoao of any of ihe gentlemen be mt ntions, while to Ttiany it ia superior, when the peoplo pay their money at a place of amusement they are as much ontitlod to that moncj's worth as they would be at their dry goods or tea merchant's.

Thoy go to seo a performance, not a botch and they havo no business with, or any interest in any mishaps or misunderstandings among those bo bina tbo scenes, unless Buch offends their sight or destroys the illusion of tho representation. In conclusion, 1 would inform your Gowanua cor rospondent tbat I did. by a slip of the pon, wibstituto Felix ior John, or, as ho is uomctime3 called Alex Vjn ccnt, tho late stage manager of Niblo's. Both brothers are old iriendw ot mine, and I ought not to have mistaken the one lor the other. IVlix is a "star" actor, but I rather think ho haa dono a little management himeell out West.

The re daction of tax this year ought to have added twenty five per cent, to the selling value of every Brooklyn house and lot, and to havo doubled the number of new houses usually built. This benefit has been neutralized so far by the imputation of fraud in local government. When tho Committee probe the accounts and affairB and find, as we are confident they will, that the New Xork thefts havo no parallel in Brooklyn, and that our publio debt, large as it looks, is amply secured by legal liens and equivalent improvements and property, the tongues of libellers will be tied, nnd the attractions of the city will have their fair offect in enhancing the realisable value of all property within tho city limits. After the performance in Steinway Hall last night, will the Methodist and other pious but simple papers continue to quoto from Tilton's Golden Age," as one having authority re ligious matters? Even Wyoming is getting disgusted with the disroputable Woman Suffrage movement. The practical operation of the feminine franchise in that remote and crude society is such that the people propose to reform the reform.

A bill abolishing the suffrage has passed tho House by a vote of nine to three. There is not so much liberty in England as we supposed. We referred the other day to the fact that the London journals insmltod the Quoon whenever they chose with perfect impunity, and that the laws which protected her subjeots against Blander and libel were no shiold for her. It ap pears, however, that there is a limit to the license of abase. John Gribblo (excellent name, that Dickens might have invented, for a temperance fanatic), Secretary of the Total Abstinence booi oty of Brrxham, having publicly accused Victoria of drunkenness, has been legally prosecuted.

8o long as Gribbles grow from tho anti beverage agitation, in both hemispheres, is it remarkable that "the cause" languishes, as recently shown in this city Thoro was another grievous Alexis disappoint ment yesterday. Tho weather postponed the re ception, and the New York papers went sadly to press with only four columnB about the Grand Duke. Tho Tribune scouts the idea of trying Oakey Hall upon the statements of the New York rimes. The Tribune last Summer scouted the idea of Governor Hoffman not trying Dr. Car nochan upon the statements of the Tribune.

Could it have forgotten to day what it said last Summer Or did it suppose its readers had for gotten Or did it care for what it said last Sum mer or whother it exactly nullified what it says to day, or not Every plea wherewith it defends Hall now was used to impale Hoffman and Car nochan lesB than six montli3 ago. A papor loss extraordinary than the Tribune would have a longer memory or less indifference to stultification. Tho flexibility that can adopt views at one time aud repudiate the same at an other time has no designation in journalism, for Buch a course was never pursued in that profes sion till the Tribune indulged it. Mr. Greeley's most vigorous Saxon would bo inadequate to characterize bis attitude toward Hall to day in tho light of hia conduct toward Carnochan and Hoffman a Bhort time past.

That the interven tion of city printing Bhonld effect such moral opacity or such reckless and festive contempt of consistency, is the phenomenal advertising fact of the nineteenth contury. It is a curious coincidence that just when tho l.uHsian Prince had arrived and was awaiting his "ovation, certain members of the Evangelical A met in Association Hall, Now York, last night, to tell how they had been snubbed by the ltussiau Prime Jlimstor. Although Hank Smith's newspaper organ prom ised yeBtorday that hia savings bank would pay all claims on demand, tho Bowling Green institu tion was closed yesterday, and its affairs aro in tho hands of a receiver. The local Radical organ appears to consider that its only chance of prolonging its feeble ex istence consists in getting an occasional notice from the EaOLE. With this view, it frequently devotes a8 many as from six to ten of tho hys teiical shrieks and scroams which do duty for editorial disquisitions to the publication of false hoods about this journal.

Most of these confuto themselves and therefore need no answer, as they deserve none. But yostorday it ventured on slander bo specific that it may bo aB well to brand it as it deserves. It said, mvoBting the amounts with all tho dignity of capital letters: Pcrhuns it will bo Bomewhat astonishing for tho nub lie to tnow how much money is paid from the public treasury to run the Kaglk. Let it not forget to state that one of its reporters receives irom t'ao Mayor's cilice another $1,600 from tho Police Coinmisaiou i rs; another from tho Surrofrate'sotfice another $2,500 from tho City Court another from tho City court, auct auoiuor a nauusoino sum irom au, uj yet, unknown source in mo uuy nau. Tho fasts are.

that the Mayor's Secretary, be fore ho was appointed to tho office wliich ho faith fully and laboriously fills, was a nowspaper reporter, who had been employed ou tho local radi cal organ, and also on tho Eagle. On going into public l'fe he resigned his engage ments altogether. Of the two of the prosont officers of the City Court referred to, one haileft the Eagle before he obtained his placo under the Court, and tho other had beon connected with tho radical organ much longer than with the EAOLEi but from tho timo of their appointmont aB public officers neither has been on the Eagle staff. Aa to tho remaining two, tho Police sten ographer and tho Surrogato's stenographer, must bo reporters, or would not be qualified for then public duties and such timo aB thoir public dunes loave thom freo to dispose of, thoy still employ In the Eagle's service, as baforo, being paid by the Eagle, at the full rato of tho valuo of thoir newspaper work. Thus, of the five gentlemen referred to, three aro not Eagle attachos, and have not been sinco they quitted journalism to outer upon the public service; and tho other two occupy places which none but reporters could till, and honestly earn tho public money thoy re ceive The insinuation of the Radical organ to tho contrary is meant to covor up tho understood fact that employees of its own wore not public servants, but sinecurists corruptly hired as a bribe to influence its course on public matters.

To such a charge as this, no man now or over on tho Eagle is amenable, but neither misrepresen tation nor bluster can clear tho Radical organ from such a disgrace. Mr. Greoley has given encouraging evidence that bis sympathies are not wholly with tho Tammany Ring, by returning, with a prompt declinature, Hall's lotter offeriug a Park Com misBionership. As this involved tho rejection of an office we may conjecture what tho strugglo coBt Mr. Grceloy and thereby measuro tho sin cerity of hiB reformation.

There is this advantage accruing to Mr. Groeloy from letting other peoplo manage his affairs ho escapes, in a measure, tho intorviowing bore Being called upon yesterday for certain infor mation, Mr. Groeloy referred tho ropresontativo of tho press to one Roid, who answered tho ques tions in Greeley's behalf. Tko most extraordinary lecture over dolivorod was that by the Woodhull woman in Stoiuway Hall last night. Sho announced herself a freo lover.

Wo aro glad sho added thereto her defini tion of what she meant by tho term. She said "lam a Freo Lover! I havo an inalionablo. constitutional and natural right to lovo whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can, to change that lovo every day." As an asser tion of abstract rights," this iB not to be con demned for inexplicitnoss. Wo do not presume tho interests of morality would be so much subserved as the interest of curiosity, if it was as certained how literally this woman lives up to hor "rights." Sho carried her liberality a step further by insisting of "our Bistoi who livo in debauchery in Green street," and of "our brothera who visit thom" that: "thoy aro only exorcising the same right that we exercise in re maining away, and we have no more right to abuse and condomn them thin they have to abuse and' condemn us for oxorciBing our rights in our way." Persons apprehen sive of tho prevalence of ench idoas need, to bo relieved of thoir foar, only see to it that hor creed and the illustration of it by the woman Woodhull ho oirculaied togethor. The giving to prostitution the same rights as mar riage, and tho frank identification of free lovo with prostitution, can work no harm in minds which have a capacity to be reformed or to bo kept from confounding tho two things, whioh the Woodhull correlates.

Hor comprohonBion of love and marriage proceods from the Groone street viow point entirely. Sho ovidontly knows what aha ib talking about, too, and ie familiar with tho habits and rightB of her clientage. Hor oareful reservation of tho right to change her love every day (and oftoner by implication) is a right which tho locality for which she spoaha holds sacred. Though that locality holds it Bacrod, it has not ventured, herotoforo, to claim it from the plat form, so much as from tho pavomont. In tho mattor of boldness, Bololy, tho Woodhull Booms to havo got boyond her elientago.

Is it not in order for Mrs. Isabella Beoohor Hooker to re publish or ropudiato her "affection and lovo" for tho Woodhull? pROflPF.CT Fabk Visitors. persons visited Prospect Park for tho weok ending November 18.

JOURDAN ON HIS OATH. A. Batch of Interesting Affidavits. MOW TRACY THRIVES. How Dutoher was Elected to the Gen eral Committee.

Much has been said recently of three prominent Federal officials of this city concerning fraud. Their protestations of indignation havo been boisterous and frequont. Without intending to be little tho grand orusado of reform which theao place men havo entered upon, but rather with a desire to prevent the efforta of true reformers from being mis directed by the seltlsh partisan scheming of Messrs. Dutoher, Jourdan and Tracy, afow foots aro submitted. S.

B. DUTCHER, POLITICIAN AND OHDB0HMAN. S. B. Dutoher, Supervisor of Internal Revenue, is ono of tho Federal firm of The Throe Graces," and ltkcwiBO a shining light in the Dutch Reformed Church, This combination of religion and politics does not ap pear to havo impaired his usefulness in orther field of labor.

On the oontrary, his professions of piety havo resulted in a great gain of church influence at ward primaries, and as a oonsoquonce his politioal standing has been strengthened thereby. Duteher'a forte lies in the happy faculty of adapting himself to present surroundings. In his devotional duties none aro more earnest in the Intrigues and tricks of a word contest none more active. With a somewhat remarkable facil ity be throws off the garb of a devout churchman to don tho motley of a ward trtokstor, and with equal case returns to his religious endeavors. How good hiB claims are to tbo titlo of a fair man in oither rots oau heat bo judged by those familiar with tho part ho played in THE BAILEY DEFALCATION CASE.

Dutcher has been quite Buccessfnl in hiB ward, the Twenty Becond, owing, in a great measuro, to his rela tions with Wm. A. Blohardson, co laborer in tho ehuroh and political vineyard. The last named gontlomau is also a deacon, and unitCB with his influence as a fol lower of the church, a vaiuablo esporionco acquired in Albany, as Clerk of the Assembly, and MEMBER OF THE "THIRD HOUSE." Of him it was recently said by a New York journal 'J be Times is making a frrcat noise about a person by the i.anif) of A. D.

Barber, whom it styles as tho kinc of the Albany lobby. What about William ItlohardBOn, villa ueiongs to ino nntl onton taction, auu is now incmoer oi the lonaiin custom iiouse state commit tee? He bas spent more monov in tho Albany lobby than liarbcr ever did, and has beon engaged In larger scbem( 8. Take for instance the Erio and Central Kail road lighte, the Broadway Railroad swlndlo, and tho canvaBd lor Morgan lor senator against Mr. ronton. Such a rare combination of virtue and shrewdness could not fall to win ot tho ward primaries but how won is quaintly and clearly explained by Mr.

William Blair, Prosidont of tho Twenty second Ward Republi can Association. Mr. Blair is a Radical of ability and good social standing, whose mere word is entitled to consideration, but ho strengthens his statement with an oath. THE CHARGES which ho brings forward seriously compromise tho fair namo and fame of Dutchor's lieutenants, who are BUpposed to obey all orders of their chief. It is a reo ognized fact that tho movements of ward workors arc generally directed by ono leader, who asanmos the responsibility, and runs risks where tricksaro to be played.

Mr. Dutcher doeB not soom to bo an exception to the rule. Blair states that ho is well acquainted with John Me Eeuzio, Recording Secretary, and Chas. Richmond, Corresponding Secretary of tho Ward Association, and adds About flvo days previous to the primary election held in tho said Twenty second Ward on tho 21st day of September last, tho said McKenzie, in a conversa tion betweed deponent and Mr.James Dutfy, offered to deponent tho ubc of tho books containing the names of tho persons entitled to vote at tho then ensuing pri mary election for tho price or sum of six hundred dol lars, and said that it would bo WORTH 10,000 TO ARCHIE BLISS to carry tho Twenty second Ward at such primary election and that without the use of those books, tho ward could not be so carried. McKenzie further re marked that it was necessary to havo bis book, and that held by tho Corresponding Soorctary Cbas.

Rioh mond to agree, and that said Richmond would work with him, and that it was necessary to havo THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH, to oarry out the areangemont. That deponent suggest ed that be and his friends only wanted a fato show at the primary, and asked said McKenzie if thoy tbo re maining secretaries would not give them a fair show if MoKcuzie was retained lu the position ho then held in the Custom llouso, aud Richmond wero provided for with a position. To this McKonzio replied after soma explanation for this decision, "No, what we want Is money." Deponent thou Blid he would tako tho pro position iuto consideration. Richardson's Richmond in the rrEi.D. Blair swears that tho proposition of McKenzio was "a voluntary oiler on bis part." Obarlo3 ltiobmond was piosent and heard the conversation, Blair says in re icrring to tno mercenary remark uiado by McKenzio ''Chulcs Richmond was present and assented to the arrangement, aud also stated that what thoy wanted mout us he had already beon offered a position by 'tlic other side," meauiug thereby the parties in l'a vur ul tho election of A.

B. liichardsuu, at such prill ury elictirn entuieg. Juiiied Duil'y of No. G5Q Baltic street corroborates Blair's statement by an affidavit, and adds that on tho same night just beforo tho proposition was mado to Biair, McKenzie "offered the use of tho bookB of tho Ward Aefieciation for the Bum of $000 in carrying tho Pi iniary election ou tho 21st of September." lie claims to have told McKenzio that $500 ought to bo 'enough," wheroupon Richmond remarked that "it woulu do." John Lynch on oath confirms tho statement of Blair aud gives information which demonstrates the useful ness cf Navy Xaid Republicans who work the interest of the "Three Graces." Lynch in the affidavit tuys: 'On tho duy of the Primary election in said Ward (Twenty second) at about 12 o'clock, WM. GLEARY, MASTER ISLOOilMAKEH, NAVV YARD, delivered to deponent aunexed slips iu his (Qlcary's) office.

That such slips contained tho names of persons enrolled ou tho books of tho Twenty second Ward Republican Association as deponent is informed, and wero given to deponent to procure other persons to vote at said Primary election on tho names of tlie per sons mentioned on Buch slips. Tho moat interesting part of this affidavit is that which statos that Dauiel Green of Sixtieth street, near First avenue, New York, and two residents of tho Second Ward, wero brought to voto on tho following namos: D. Grcon, Baltio Btreet, betweon Fourth and Fifth avenue; L. MsCormack, Baltic Btreet, near Fifth avenue, and John Harrington, Filth avenue, near Bergon street. MASTER GLEARY WELL SUPPLIED.

In closing his affidavit Lynch says, and "doponent further sayB that at the timo said Gleary delivered said slips to deponent Gloary had at least filty similar Blips for a similar purpose." TIliB man Gleary owes bis position in tho Navy Tard to the influence of Supervisor 8. B. Dutcher. His rotations with that Federal magnate are of an intimate political character, and it is said that bo is always ready to obey orders. Men who aro not politicians may "Mr Dutcher cannot have fallen so low as to countenance such a dtsreputablo piece of business." But tho politician or man acquainted witli political trickery who can bo found ready to make a similar statement will be regarded ao a raro curiosity.

THE "SLIP" TRICK. This trick ia one which finds much favor among Ea dical leaders in Brooklyn. It is simple enough when understood, but has astonished moro than once tho uninitiated. This is tho way it is done. Suppose a Federal oflicial wishes to carry a primary and knows that he cannot do so on a fair voto.

If tUo Seorotary of the Ward Association is under his influenco the bookB aro taken to tho houso of somo trusty friend. 'I fcri'o or four of tho Federal official'a friends aro thoro. Then the registry book is carefully road through, and the names and residences of voters who seUom come outat ajprimary, or who invariably come late, arocopiod on slips. Theso slips aro dividod among the throe or four frionds present, and tho next day are givon to men living out of the Ward, generally rtavy Yard men. Tho Fsdoral offloial says to his lieutenants "Now, I am a member of the church i deacon and I hold an Influential Federal position.

It won't do for mo to get mixed up in this matter, or tho members of my church may go back on me, but sco that you mon voto right "and early." His friends do voto early, and tho Inspectors, who aro also kis friendp, made so perhaps by a government posi tion, sco that tho votes aro properly reoordod. And bo tho Federal official and church pillar wms at the primary, to tho infinite astonishmont of thoao who are simple enough to believe thatmajoritios conquer. This explanation of tho slip trick ia partioalarly commended to tho careful consideration of the ehuroh going mom boiBfthe Twonty socond Ward Republican Association. DOTOHUt's ELECTION TO THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. Butcher's adhorontt aro deserting hit etondardond are joining tho ranks of his opponents.

John Dohorty, of 138 Eighth street, swears to a atawmont which Is likely to cause freBh desertions. Ho was formerly a follower of tho doughty Dntohor, and as a natural oon seiiucnce ib is presumed that ho knows something about the means employed to elect the U. Supervisor to tho Republican General Committee. Mr. Dutchor has hadmuchtoaay recently about fraudulent oleotions his great brcaBt has swelled with indignation (at public meetings) whenever fraud has hoou montionod.

Ho baa said that ho would nover tako position which fraud could givo. Will he poruso tho fcnnoxed affidavit and thou call for an investigating coinmittoo not to bo oompoBtd of Silaa D. Dutoher'a partisan friends but ofhoncbt HopublicuLS, who cannot 1)0 intluouccd by TUESDAY EVENING, NOV, 31. This Paper has the Earsrost Circula tion of tiny Evening Paper Published in the United Slate. Its Value as an Advertising; medium is therefore apparent.

What has been Gained Last Saturday the religions press celebrated a grand Te Devm for alleged viotory oyer corruption. In this it only repeated the chorus ef the secular press, with such added rehe mence and volubility as the one sided and narrow religious organs ars aceustomed to bring to any matter which kindles their shortsighted enthusiasm. But what has really been gained in the battle with fraud True it was shown, on the 7th that honest citizens will vote substantially right in response to a sufficiently rousing appeal. If a different conclusion had been reached we might well despair of popular self government. When it is assorted, however, that a perfectly satisfactory result has been reached in the pnn ishmont of scoundrels, the vindication of justice, the breaking up of a corrupt politioal system, and the substitution of a purs one, it is worth while to inquire whethor faots sustain the assertion.

Comptroller Connolly has been permitted to resign the office whose trusts ho so shamefully abused, and no steps whatever have been taken to send him to State Prison. Tot if there be a knave in New York to day his name is Kiehard B. Connolly. He knew all about the frauds, helped to commit and conceal them, was familiar with the mofchod of distributing the stolen millions, and if he did not get his share is an inconceivable fool as well as a matchless rascal. At the recjuost of tho famous Committee of Seventy, the public consented that Connolly should escape a convict's cell by turning State's evidence.

The role is a dirty and disgraceful but sometimes vaiuablo one, and perhaps no no fitter man than Connolly could be found to fill it. At all events, it was agreed that Connolly's share in the swindle should be condoned on condition of his making a oase against bis confederates. Ho has done nothing of the kind. He could, if he would, name every man who plundered the taxpayers, ami his evidence would be sufficient to put every thief in irons before sundown. He has told nothing, has given not a particle of evidence.

Yet to day he is at large, clothed in purple and fino linen, and faring sumptuously at the expense of the. people he has helped to rob. Is this a satisfactory result? Although it is morally certain that the members of the Uing, who assistsd in the grand twenty millions robbery, if they are not born idiots, received ample wages for their work, the law has laid its hand on only one of them, arid it is feared that even he will escape. There is a rumor that Charles O'Conor has discovered a legal obstacle that may prove fatal to Tweed's conviction. The rumor may be unfounded, but its existence and tho credence given it betray tho painful uncortainsy of the public mind in regard to this grave matter.

Meantime Tweed remains at tho head of an important department. He appears at his office, a daily outrage upon and insult to the people, he attends meetings of tho board charged with tho apportionment of the people's money (the people's money of which ho has stolen millions), and with amazkig effrontery actually offers to resign on the impudent condition of naming his successor Is this a satisfactory result Hall, who signed the thieves' warrants and defended his knavish confederates as long as possible, holds fast to office, makes daily appointments and tenders of appointments, and with jaunty insolence says that the Reformers won in the struggle at the polls and he proposes to consult them about filling vacancies and to give them a bhare of patronage It is Hall, a leading member of the King, the signer of millions of dollars' worth of fraudulent drafts on the public treasury, that says this. But, argues the Tribune in his behalf, there is no proof that he received any of tho stolen money. The greater fool he then, if ho acted tho part of knave gratuitously. But suppose he did not get a cent suppose he only helped others to steal where ought Hall to be to day? He actually is in tha Mayor's office, untouched and untroubled, unless by the prickings of a remorse he is probably too flippant to feel.

Is this a satisfactory result What hasbeen really gained by the Reform movement seems to accrue through a series of bargains for the benefit of individuals Ledwith, indeed, made a bargain and failed, but his disaster was largely duo to his bung. ling. Had be bargained with Eeform instead of Tammany he might have been Judge elect to day, but, having sold his earlier associates. he sold also his later ones, was rejoet ed by both sides, and made himself famous for life. Barrett made a bargain and succei i i d.

He has been a Kef ormer to some purpo.1. indeed, when ho passes from the bustle ui agitation to the comfortable quiet of the buich. Is it not scandalous that this man should use the Eeform movement and his leaiii rship of it to secure for himself a fourteen years office at a salary of There are other bargains. There was a bargain with the Germans by which Higel profited, after promising to divido the Register's patronage among three nationalities a scandalous compact which would have created a tempest of indignation among (he Kefonners, if made by the other hide. There was a bargain with O'Brien.

and it is oven said that Mr. George Jones, who might well be satisfied with the distinction fairly won by his Time, has his bargain in view, and wants to be a 1'ark Commissioner. So they are all preparii'g to enter upon tho enjoyment of their v. ral bargains, and the late agitation seems about to be followed by a groat calm. Is this ii satisfactory result The people would rejoice to unite with glad voices in the Tc Veum that swells from the religious press in recognition of the alleged groat lleform victory, but the people really do not see their way clear to such a jubilant chorus, 'the facts do not support tho theory that vtrv much has been won aftor all.

A 'IVM for the Tracy Committee Tho of Forty and upwards, consisting' almost wholly of Republicans, and headed by tho Radical ring leaders, Tracy Dutcher and Jourdan, find that the energetic aotion of tho District Attorney has taken the out of their sails. While they have been talking about election frauds, Mr. Morris has been arresting the offenders. And they prove to be of both parties. Jakey Worth nd his man Cunningham are caught at their old tricks and the Sixteenth Ward Republicans hid fair to go to Sing Sin: in company with tho Sixth Ward Democrats who rival them as ballot stuffers.

Thus relieved from duty as guardians of the bjllot box, the Committee of Forty and upwards seem to bo devoting their main at tention to getting up a now charter for tho city. Mr. Tracy reminds thom that the Re publican party have Legislature this year, and that no charter can pass but such as he approves and considers favorable to his party interests. It is useless to appeal to a body so largely partisan on grounds of fairness and public policy elso wo would advise tho Traey Comm ttee not to attempt to make a partisan charter, for it could only stay in existence until the next time the other party provail And the organic law of a city ought not to bo the pasliuo and sport of parties. Lot us have a charter in the publis iutorest, in the interest of property and not of polities, Even in a party point of view this wHl pay Mr.

Tracy's party best, for if the city get a good non partisan charter from a party many voters in gratitude to that party would bo led to vote with it, at least on iocal ques lions; whilo if an evidently one sided, parti san charter be inflicted on the city, votors will take revengo upon the party that thus abuses its temporary and accidental power. Among tho points which will test whether it is a people's or a partisan charter, one is this The abolition of all foes tho payiug the future Sheriffs and Registers and County Clerks a fixed salary, and turning over tho fees to the uublio treasury tho rescue of the from tho jobbery of tho Sheriff, and.
