Noaket. defend ants Tho foreg Tng summons Is jrved unon you by rubll eatlon puriusnt to an order of Hon. Henry A. Moore, County of Kings County, datod the 23d diy of Maroh. 18TS, and tiled with the oomoUint in tha office ot be released.

The history of the case, as developed in tbe courts and through the columns of the newspaper press, 18 recited by Mr. Townsend, who then gives tbe following acoount of what has oome to be known as THE CONCESSION On the 23d of February I celled on Mr. Tweed at tbe Jail in oompany with the Attorney Oeneral and Mr. Peokbam. The Attorney Oeneral then impressed upon Mr.

Tweed tho absolute necessity of making full confession of hla crimes and accomplices, and nothing less would be acceptable. As the Attorney Oeneral refused to suggest any subjects upon whloh he.speolaliy required Information, and it was impossible for Mr. Tweed to bring to mind, on call, all of his mlsdeods or the names of all his associates, a brief summary was proposod of what be immediately brought to remembrance, and forwarded to the Attorney Oeneral on the 26th of February. From about then until April 4 I heard nothing direotly from the Attorney Oeneral, although I heard he was in communication witb Oarolus O'Bryan Bryant and had visited Mr. Tweed in prison with him and also alone, and bad conversed with hiid about his affairs and had carried away from the Jail papers belonging to him.

For weeks I had no influence whatever over Mr. Tweod. He rolled upon tho information which he reoelved or thought he received from Mr. Fatrcbild through Bryant. In the early part of April, however, Mr.

Tweed having begun to lose aonddenca in Bryant, I bad an interview with Mr. Falrchild at the Buckingham Hotel in this city and obtained from him a statement of whst Mr. Tweed must do to obtain his discharge. Ho then said that If he made a full confession, end restored what property he allU had, he would be released, and not otherwise. This assurance, I understood, he also eave to Controller Kelly, of this city, as well as to Mr.

Tweed personally. Upon tbe strength of this the statement waa drawn which has been called "The Confession," and was placed in Mr. Falrchlld's hands on the 17th of April. Not a word was said to me prior to the preparation of this statement, nor to Mr. Tweed, as I understand from him that It would be nooessary for him to furnish oorrobo ratlve evidence of all that he confessed to.

I reapeot nlly ask you to look at this statement and see whether there is anything in it which justified its detention by the Attorney Oeneral for nearly two months. I aak whether, in the very commencement of the Btatoment, Mr. Tneed does not set forth all that he Is willing and ablo to do, and whether he was not entitled to an Immediate answer based upon bis proposition 1 Does bo not say that he sets forth aU the ohecks and papers whloh are in hla possession confirmatory of what be states? The proposition to the Attorney Oeneral was this Will you discharge me if I do what is set forth In my statement During the time this statement was held by Mr. Falrchild, Mr. Tweed, at the suggestion of Falrohlld, was visited by Mr.

Peck ham, his assistant; by Sir. Whitney, the Corporation Counsel of this city, and by bis assistant, and by private oounsel oalled In by tbe Corporation Counsel to try some ot the oases instituted by or ajtalast the oity, growing out of the Ring frauds. By all these gentlemen he has been examined. Ho has been questioned about almost everything, and has been taken once or twloe before a referee to testify in the aotion known as the Navarro water meter suit, whloh Is an action brought against the city, and which involves nioro than a million of dollars. A question as to whether the referee should not be displaced in consequence of business relations with one of the litigants, as I am Informed, alone prevented bis testimony from being taken.

In connection with this, 1 herewith submit to you a letter trom Mr. Bangs, the able counsel retained to represent the city In defense of the Navarro claim. After the return of bis statement, by Mr. Falrchild, his friends, as well as the press, advised blm to make publio bis confession. This be oould not do, but he obeyed tbe summons Issued by the Supreme Court to appear before a commlt teo of the Board ot Aldermen aud testify as to tho nature snd origin of the Ring trauds, and he there gave testimony in a manner that rendered it apparent to all that he was truthful and sincere in the offer that he had made, and Induced tbe Board of Aldermen, after the report of their committee, to pass resolutlous suggesting that he be discharged.

Mr. Townsend then proceeds to show that on the preoedent established by Mr. O'Conor in the cose of Woodward, and by Mr. Falrchild in other oases, the Attorney Oeneral would, he considered, be justified In taking action looking to the release of Tweed, and the statement then closes with the following FINAL APPEAL. But Mr.

Tweed asks nothing but his liberty. He is old and seriously ill, and is constantly attended by his physicians, Oarnochan and Sohlrmer. He is willing to submit to any terms yon may choose to prescribe. He asks that you will accept (as waa done in Woodward's case) the little property be oan restore, and apply it as part payment upon the judgment. Prior to that, he will submit in the jail or elsewhere to tha CLOSEST INVESTiaATION AS TO HIS PBOPEETY.

I shall be loth to oommence any proceedings for the discharge of Mr. Tweed without feeling tbat you are at least kindly disposed toward our application. Although you are the Attorney General of tho State, In those civil suits you are in reality the representative of tho Interests of this oity. Whatever of benefit is de rlvod from the prosecutions of tho actions eventually comes to the city. Is it, then, too muoh to ash you to consult in regard to this application with persons in this city whoso intelligence and position enable them to judge with discretion and wisdom 7 I mean to such persons as the gentlemen who have heretofore represented the Attorney Oeneral in the prosecution of Mr.

Tweed, to the JUDGES WHO HAVE SAT IN JUDGMENT in bis cases, to tho oounsel who is defending the interest of the oity against the fraudulent aotions arising out of tbe Blng trauds which have been commenced against, to the Mayor and tbe nnanotal head of the ofty, and to the Aldermen, who are the immediate representatives of the people. You have bad no politioal or aooinl rotations with Tweed or his friends in the past, and I have reason to believe that tho attitude you will assume toward Mr. Tweed upon this application will be Influenced by no political or personal prejudice. I ask nothing more. He was watting his time, I suppose.

Doing the best be could, and that seemed to be to acquiesce for the time being in the lead of the Tammany chiefs. when Hoffman was nominated the second time, Tildon was present in the Convention, and ostensibly he seemed to be "running" It. It was well managed, too. The best speakers the party had were put forward. O'Oorman waa assigned to the duty of nominating Hoffman, and he did it In a masterly speeob.

Oakey Hall tho nomination. EinBelia or DeWitt, or both, of your town, followed tbem, and "Undo Sammy" seemed to bo doing It all managing It. The Tammany OhiefB had oontrol of tho party in the State at hut. It waa short Uved, aa you know. Tho explosion oame In New York, or rather tbe rumbling that precede! it.

Evidence of gross offioial corruption began to leak out Tho Timet got hold of very ugly figures, and it kept publishing them. Charges of gross corruption were explicitly made. Still the. evidence of the plunder had not been brought home. Disaffection et in.

A great many of Tweed', lieutenants openly "went back" on him. An evening papor waa started in Now York to expose official wrong doing, and It was owned by men who had shared In the plunder, aa Tweed very well know. He could not say so, for that would ba to admit It all. Then oame THE FIGHT WITH THE YOUNO DEMOOnAOY. Tweed and his assooiato.

oonld have to them, and gone out with a reputation for statesmanship, with tho certainty, too, that they oonld have got baok again. The ayatem Tweed relied on had failed, but Tweed would not admit It. New York Oity could have stood a great amount of rascality on tbe part four or five men, but when four or Ave hundred who know what was going on, Insisted, as It was certain they would sooner or later, In being allowed to ateal too, that was tbe ond of tho game. Tho revenues of a kingdom would not sustain all whom It was now neoessary to placets. Tweed led off In an extravagant and prodigal style of living.

Thia in itself was fatal to blm. Sweeny occupying, as was supposed, modest baohelor quar tors, might be suspected ot stealing, but where waa the evidence of it Connolly waa piling op wealth, bnt he made no great display. Hall lived about as bo always did so far as the publio know, But Tweed bad hla $10,000 diamond emblazoned on his shirk front, and all the boys wanted a big diamond too. Tweed met the "Young Demooraoy" onslaught with characteristic boldness and audaoity. They had fairly wrested the oontrol of New York City from him.

They challenged him to meet them in the Tammany Committee. He left Albany, ostensibly, to propare for the fight for supremaoy. On the night the meeting was to have boen held which was expected to result in Tweed's expulsion, the leaders of the Young Demooraoy found that Tammany Hall was closed to everybody. Tweed turned to' the nepubhoans to the Legislature for aid. He knew Mb men, and he resolved Io buy them, leav log the Republicans to explain to their rural constituents tbat, in a flght between two factions of Demo orate, they made choice of the Tweed Bido.

Tho true explanation of it was In a trunk whioli Tweed bad whon he returned to Albany. It contained the price at whloh the Republicans wore willing to turn over New York City, bound, hand and toot, to Tweed and bis associates, Tweed usually did business with the members through two well Known "lobbyists." This time ho would trust nobody. He dealt with the members himself. They were virtually permitted to name their own price. Later on oame the transcripts from Connolly's books, larreptitiously obtained.

Still the fall extent of tbe frauds were not known and tbey had not been traoed directly home to anybody. Then oame the memorable Convention which waa held at Rochester, when TILDEN CAMS CONSPICUOUSLY TO THS FBONT. Only minor State officers wero to be nominated, but there was great interest taken in the Convention, bs canse the Democrats would be called npon to decide what they would do with powerful leaders In their own party, mors tban suspected of being publio plunderers. Tweed changed bis tactlos now. He did not appear as a delegate from New York.

The places of theoffloe bolders were taken by new men, all friendly to Tweed, however. Tilden was on hand early, and personally oonferred with the delegates as they arrived. He was then following up the clue which finally enabled him to trace municipal plunder to the very pockets ot Tweed and bis assooiato. He probably knew mors of what was about to be disclosed than anybody else. He took tbe position tbat if tho Demooratlo Convention did not wholly relieve itself from any further responsibility for Tammany Hall tbe party would bo killed both in the Btato and nation.

By ostracising Tammany they would doubtless lose the State that year, but defeat under snob circumstances would be a real viotory. If tbe Demooraoy had health enough to stand the hcrolo treatment be proposed, its triumph eventually would be certain. The contrast between Ropubiioan tolerance of corruption in ita ranks and Democratic resentment In view of it, would not fail to strike the im agluation of the oountry, and to win over the judgment of the voters to the side of the party they had so long upheld in almost uncontrolled asceudonoy. Thia was the argument Tilden urged, but exaotly what he wanted done was not eo clear, THE OTHER SIDE. Tilden's views were more or less antagonized by those who had no part in any fraud and nothing but resentment for those engaged in it, but who hated to surrender the fight in the State to tho Republicans bo fore it had opened.

It was said tbat the Tammany Hall delegation that year did not contain the name of a single man who had been compromised by the disclosures tbat bad been made that enough was done, In letting It be seen that Tweed and the men identified especially with him In New York had not ventured to ask a pkfce In the State Convention of the party. At best the leaders of Tammany Hall were only charged with corruption, They ought not to be Thc Contest over Colonel rr Ice's Will st Olons faiiai. Tboi, H. April IS. Colonel Walter W.

GEORGE VT. BLUM'S ILL5ES8. The venerable George W. Blunt, Pilot Commissioner, lies In esfremis at hla resldenoe, 22 West Twelfth streot, New York. In anawer to inquiries made there yeBterday, our reporter was informed that his general debility Is accompanied by a dropsical affection, and tbat while he Is perfectly sensible be does not si oak or notice surrounding objects.

The premonitory symptoms of dissolution have already Bet in, and bis pbystolanB do not expect that be can survive mors than twelve or fourteen hours. Yesterday afternoon he received a telegrsphlo dlspatoh stating that Mrs. Nathaniel Blunt was burnt to death at Oordlllo, Mloh. She is the wife of his nephew. Last night bo heard that bar husband was also burned to death, aud that apprehensions are entertained that their family have alao perished.

age Act and a Small Verdict in Her Faror. A civil damage case oame up in the County Court yesterday, which involves somo very peculiar features. The suit was brought by Mrs. Caroline Bowenhauaen agalnat Peter Baveohall and his wlfo, to reoover $1,000 damages for selling liquor to Charles Bowenbanseo, tbe husband of the plaintiff. The suit is brought under the Civil Damage act.

Colonel Bobert JohnBtone appeared for the plaintiff and Hod. Jamoa Tighe for tbe defense. The case came up In another form In Juatioe 8em ler's oourt some months sgo, and were narrated in the Eaqlk at that time. The plaintiff lives at Porkvlile near the hotel kept by, the defendants on the Ocean Boulevard. Her husband la a shoemaker, and has lived at Farkviile about two yoars.

It appesrs that he has been in the habit in times past of driuklng to ex cess, ana frequented lUvonhall's hotel. It Is charged that on the 22nd of hut November he went to Baven hail's andbeoame intoxicated, and while in that condition he was tarred over his person and painted red in the ttoo. He was taken home, and it was several days before be could get the tar and paint out of his clothes aud hair. The first witness called was Charles Bowenhauaen, Jr the son of the plaintiff. He testified tbat from March to Deoember, 1877, ho was employed In Baven ball's Hotel, as a waltor and barkeeper, and had very frequently seen his father there under the Influenos of liquor.

He often cima to the hotel three or four ttmit a day. On tbe 22ad of November last wltnoss said he was in tbe barroom about 11 o'clock and Ravenhall came in, got a glass of whisky out from the bar and took it out doors telling the witness that bis, witness' father, was outside drunk. The son went out and looking through one of the windows of the shed, he saw bis father lying on the ground by the pump, drunk. Hit clothes and person were daubsd with tar and oovered with dirt. His face was painted red, and his pockets Oiled with 'filth.

Witness took his father home about four o'clock that afternoon, Ho looked liko a red man," said the wit ness, A small boy named Thomas Anderson, was the next witness. He was questioned aa to his idea about an oath and replied that If he lied the devil would punish him. It was ovident that demonology still preserves a place In that boy's theological system. He testified tbat be witnessed the tarring from the window of a sohool bouse near by, and bsw Ravenhall take the brush and daub Bowenhanser with tar. Bowenhauson was tbo next witness.

He declined to say anything about his drinking, but said he went to Bavenball's on tho date given above, and drank a glass of liquor, aud after that bocamc unconscious and did not know what happened. Tne next morning his wife told blm to look in the glass, and he saw be was all covered with tar and that his hair was ailed with tor, and his faoe painted red. The bedclothes nhere he had been lying were also covered with tar. Ho went over to Bavenhall's and demanded what had been done with him and why be bad boan so treated, Bavenhall laughed and said the thing was only soma fun. Witness replied "It may be fun for yon but it ia'death lo me.

I looked," said he, "like a Chines or a negro or I wouldn't tell what." Bavenhall dented that he had made Bodenbanseu drunk anil denlod all knowledge of the tarring and feathering episode. Colonel Johnson, in summing up for tho plaintiff, spoke at follows The object of tho Civil Damage aot was to s'op the salo of liquor to persons who wero destroying themselves by driuklng. It makes the liquor dealer liable If he sells to ooafh med iaobrtato, and extends that liability to bis landlord. No respectable hotel keeper will furnish habitual drunkards with Intoxicating drinks. As long ss be refrains from doing this, he oan sell to others, and has no more cause to fear this aot than an honest olerk has occasion to dread the statute agalnBt embezzlement.

Mrs. Bodenhausen complains that tbe defendants have kept her husband under the wQuenoo ot liquor until they have ruined him and brought his family to want. Thoy say be was a drunkard before. But what excuse ts that, if thoy helped to keen blm one If Bodenhausen was as bad as they say, why did Mr. Ravenhall visit hla bouse Why entertain bltnr Why keep him drunk? Why commit outrages on his person? Bodenhausen, like every working man, must keep on working.

To etop, Is to break down; to rest, Is to die. Drunkenness destroys esoh fsolirjg of industry. Henoe, it falls like a curse on his family, it brings want into bis bouse and permits vice to drive It away. Thus the blight extends to others and goee into the distant future. For this reason the law gives remote damagel to compensate remote consequences.

Mr. Bavenhall knew Bodenhausen was fast becoming an habitual drunkard: that he was ahuslng his wife and breaking tbe little furniture she had. In dts of intoxication. Still he 0011 tin uod filling blm with liquor, for tbe pennies that ahould have bought bread. He often called on Mrs.

Bodenhausen, pretending friendship, tbat ho miabk multiply tbe anguish his whiBky had created. One day he wonld tell tier, her husband was drunk, when ha was not; on another, that he had met with an accident, that never occurred. She would plead with him to give her husband no more Uquor. He would promise that he would not. Her's were the entreaties of a broken hearted woman; bis, the mookerios of on unfeoling man.

There are no canities In the defenoe not on miti gating clrounistance. But there Is a violation of every duty one owes a neighbor. After keeping Bodenhausen under the influeiioe of liquor, wblle his means lasted, Mr. Ravenhall makes htm the victim of a plot, wbloh grows In atrocity as it develops, until it culminates iu a climax of outrage. The relative position ot the parties to each other, add to the offeaue.

Bavenhall was tho landlord Bodenhausen the guest. That rilatlou is supposed to be sacred. It arlseB In confidence and Implies protection. They were neighbors. Ravenhall employod Bodenhauscu's son.

He had promised tbe wife to give him no liquor. Yet, Ue calls Bodonheusen Id, and gets blm a drink, which brings on immediate unconsciousness causing blm to fall liko one in convulsions. Would fine glsss, unless drugged, produce this cHect 1 Too landlord Then taking advantage ot bis guest's help loss condition Daiata his face red. and cover ing his body with far, Ieafes htm several hours in tho hole' yard, exposed to public gate. Even tbe school children came to Iho spectacle.

It i bard to discover a motive, unless Mr, Bavenball wanted to make Bodefibauseh a subject of laughter, aud draw customers to his wife bar to gossip over the affair aud spend money. If ao, it ia not Juit tbey should reap all the benefit; Mrs, Bodoabauseu is cnmled to an Interest in the profits. The law makes Mrs. Ravenhall a party, it was fraojod to meet cases like ILu, nhere the pretended landlord is irresponsible. She claims to own the hotel.

Sho takes the profits, augmented by Mrs. Uodenhau seu's misfortunes. No redress can be had except through her. He made over his property to the wile. It was his when credit was to be had, aud bore when creditors appesred.

To make bor liable is to stop all illegal acts on tbe premises hereafter. What safety hayafiy gliesFwheri Ke hotel Icecof has ao interest in the building, stock, furniture or fixtures. Suppose a guest loae money The landlord ssys, "I own nothing. My wlfo receives tho profits; do your best." To permit such an arrangement would be an imposition on tbe public. Verdiats are often given of $10.

000 for a breach ot promise or for libel or tor assault aud battery. In those cases the feelings o( one perjoq are involved; here, tbo feelings ot a family. Tbo children are jeered by their schoolmates and avoid school to oscape ridicule. The womanhood of the mothef has been dogtaded by a series of premeditated acts, growing more and more flagrant, until no lower depth of infamy or outrage can be Imagined. The father has boen made a public laughing stock and dobaeed before liis neighbors.

The jury returned a verdict for $60 in favor of the plaintiff, whloh carries all the costs of the suit. THE DENTISTS. Why Thoy Object to navlnrx (he lalalure Interfere Wits TUelr Bust pen. An adjourn ed meeting of the dentists of Brooklyn was held at the Atheneum, last evening, for the purpose of tearing tho report of tbe Committee on Resolutions and the Committee on There were about twenty gentlemen present, in the absence of Dr. William B.

An act to regulate the praettoe of deatltvy lu the SUte of New York is now on file in the bly, odntsinlnf provisions of an a pott facto, or retroactive nature, which are unconstitutional according: to the highest judicial authority, Chief Justice Btory on "Constitution" "The terms ex post facto laws, in a comprehensive sense, embrace all retroactive laws, whether they' are of a civil or criminal nature pit Kent, 458, a retrospective statute, affecting and changing rested rights, is very generally admitted in this country aa founded on unconstitutional principles, and oonseauently inoperative and void," and Whereat, We believe that If the said act were to become law 11 wonld not only result In serious detriment to a Urge portion of our worthy and competent practitioners, but would utterly fall to aooompUsh what is claimed for it, namely, the elevation of the profession of dentistry; and, Whereat, la response to an appeal to the dentists throughout the Bute, there bas beea rsturued an expression of ninety two per cent, against the passage of ssld proposed aot; therefore, be it Rualvei, That tha sans of this meeting Is that the Legislature be respectfully requested not to enaot the aforesaid retroactive bill.

As He Appears to Mr, Stephen Watson Healy. A Pleasant Sketch from a Friendly Hand Which mil Interest All Hells ions Bead' ers. Special Correspondence of iho Eagle. ItOME, Maroh 30, 1878. Lu an audience at the Vatican, yesterday, I enjoyed an excellent opportunity or observing the personal appearanoe and manner of Leo XII r.

The figure of the now Pope DresoncraetrHing contrast to that of his immediate being very tali, alight and ascetic. The features are sharply deflaed, the forehead vary broad and high, and the hair white as snow. Though only sixty eight, Hit Holiness appears In some respects to bo almost olghty. The eyes, however, are tbo most remarkable I ever bow vory bright, penetrating, greatly expressive and' full of power. A portrait still existing In tbe family palace at Carpioeto, and painted when the Pope, though even then a Cardinal, was comparatively young, is thus described "The couctenanoe Is of elegant, almost feminine beauty, the eyes black and very mild, the noie of graceful proflle, the mouth small and smiling, tho complexion of a delicate rose tint." Though the resemblance doubtless remains, the features of the supreme Pontiff have ohangod in several particulars since tbo dato of the portrait tuoroasing age and severe meutal application having rendered them somewhat angular and contracted, The oyes, rather than blaok, appeared to mo of a very dork brown.

As far as thoy aro oonoern ed, time certainly bas produced no unfavorable Influence the spirit like vivacity and fascinating strength of expression must have increased, rainor than dl mlsbed, with tho progress of yoars. TIDE MAKNKB of Leo XIII Is gentle, gonial, graceful, benignant, and yet thoro la no relaxation ot dignity, no mitigation of the majesty of his high position. His expression Is singularly trank and eirnest, and his movements rapid and norvoua. His voice Is cloar, firm and roaonant; his words few, torso and well selected. His bearing la always princely, or rather Pontifical.

He himself may Bomclimos forgot that he Is tho Snpromo Pontiff, but tbls fact will never be lost sight of by those who aro admitted to his presonoe. Iu conversation his Holiness favors his auditor with such concentrabid atten tion, and his manner on tbojo occasions Is so earnest and Interested, that were tbe matter the moat Important conceivable, ho oauld not address himself to it with greater spirit or energy. I waa especially impressed with those peculiarities yesterday, while the Pope was discoursing in Latin with a Hungarian party who was next to me. Leo XIII Is maator of several foreign languages. French and Oerman he speaks with unusnsl facility.

The Pope may oven issue from the Vatican, and it Is by no means Impossible tbat be may abandon Borne during the Bummer months and occupy the Pontifical villa at Castel Oandolto. When I say, lsaue from the Vatloan, I moan that be may do so In a public manner, for he his already oome forth privately. This was one nlgbt, soon after his election. Attired as a simple priest and accompanied by a aingle attendant, he entered a dosed oarrlageand drove to the rosidence he occupied aa Cardinal. Here he withdrew some important papers bo had left before entering tho Conclave, and returned at once to Iho Vatican.

This cir oumstance was announced In a Roman newspaper at the time, and the Intelligence has possibly found its way abroad. Naturally enough, It was universally discredited. I am, however; assured of Ita truth by an ecclesiastical dignitary who, for mauy yoars, has had official relations with tbe Vatican. Tha Pope is A FINE ATIN SCHOLAR and an exoellent poet, as well aa an accomplished writer. His style or composition, while concise and methodioal, is graceful and elegant, svinolng groat command of language and singular force and faoillty of expression.

His Linton Pastoral, Issued immediately before hli elcotlon, aa Archbiabop BUhopof Per ugia, fully justifies this criticism. The subject of this truly remarkable and already celebrated Letter Is the same as tbat treated In the correspendlng document, last year, viz: The influence of the oburch upon civilisation; and whereas on tho former occasion, civilization was noticed in Its relation to tha phjaloal well being of mankind, it is now oonsldered In Its streets upon man's moral uature. This subject is well presented and vigorously treated tho passages are can donsed and tbe conclusions are logical. The HABITS OF LEO Xin, are very Blmple. He prefers solitude, and lovas study and meditation; he reads and writes a great deal, speaks little aud seldom smiles.

He looks upon every subject from a blgh standpoint, and oonalders It ins broad and comprehensive manner. Tho Italians, even those who are no friends of tho Church, admire him; and the government fears him even mors than It did Plus II. Many millions in money have been received at tbe Vatican from all parts of tho world eluoe the accession of the new Pope. In Franco a subscription liat has been opened, aod a large amount already collcoted, to present His Holiness a tiara which shall coat a million francs. It is reported here that Dr.

Ohatard, the well known Rector of tbe American College, is about to be created Arohblshop of Baltimore, Should the report be true, tha position thus rendored vacant will doubtless be filled by Dr. HoBtlot, the present Vice Rector, and deservedly one of the moat popular Americans in Romo. B. W. H.

Special to the Eagle. WAsniKaTps, D. April 13. Democratic Senators held a caucus this morning, at which a number of topics were discussed. All were present except Thurmsn, Barnum, Herrimon, He Donald, Garland and Jones of Florida.

Desultory talk showed that the majority thought It advisable not to Interfere with resumption beyond seconding such minor amendments as might be presented from the Committeo on Finance. Time was chiefly oocupled considering the movement known as the National party, which is growing into promlnenoe In some Western States and Pennsylvania, and there was general anxiety to know what ita proportions were, and Its possible effect on the porty. Senator Toorhles was cloBely questioned, but oonld only say in reply tbat fthile the movement Boomed quite poworful, he had reason to believe that In Indiana, st least, It affeotod tho Demooratlo more than the Republican party. He believed It drow about oqually from both. No decision on this subject was reaohed, but It was generally agreed that more Information would be acceptable It waa decided by vote that the Executive Committee of tho Senate ahould confer with tbat of the House relative to the next Congressional elections.

THE TEXAS PAOIFIO BILL. The friends of the Texas Pacific have conclnded to press forward their bill in the Senate early next week. They believe It oan psss, in view of the recent defeat ot Oould and Huntington, and want this lever to bear on the House and the co operation which Senators could give in the contests. O.

Wabhimoton, April 13. The Democratic Senators met in caucus to day for (he purpose of reviewing the various measures now pending before Congress. It la understood tbat the Resumption Repeal bill was disoUBSod, and although no definite action was taken, tho prevailing sentimen appeared to bo in favor of its passage. Tbe coming elections, and the suffering experienced by the poorer classes throughout the oountry, were vary generally dlsoussed, but without srrlviug at any conclusion as to what action should be taken with regard to the legislation necessary to relieve the ltttor. The Eiooutivs Caucus Committee was autborlzed to confer with the House Caucus Committee with a view to reaching a decision as to the coatet to be pursued.

Congress Appropriates (or tbe Erection of a iaouuineut over tlie Grave of tbe AatborBor tbe Declaration of Independence Further Consideration ol tue Post Office Bill. WASHrHuTOtr, D. April 13.

On motion of Mr. Bloknell (Ind.) the Benate bill requiring tho commissioner appointed to propose the new edition of the Revised Statue to rovlse the index to the Qrst volume of tbe same, was taken from the Bpeakor's table and passed. Mr. Cbx (N. Chairman of the Committee on the Library, reported back tbo bill appropriating $3,600 for the erection of a monument over the grave ot Thomas Jefferson.

Mr. Cox said: "This is a day to bo made memorable It la Jefferson's birthday he was associated with every sentiment and exertion in the blgbsr sphere of patriotic and phlloaophlo statesmanship yet his grave Is in utter neglect and decay. The shaft fs broken and unprotected, and the Inscription be himself directed to be made upon it Is utterly gone. On thle, the anniversary of his birth, It should be grateful and honorable In tbe American Congress ts pass the bill I am directed to report from the Joint Committee on the Library. It appropriates $2,500 for the repair of tho monument under the direction of the State Department, with all the guards as to title and aooess by the publio.

Mr. Foster, of Ohio, objeoted to tht present consideration or tho bill. Ho would not object to making an appropriation ot $50,000 for the purpose of ereoting a monument In Washington; but he was opposed to the present bill. It waa a disgrace to the State ot Virginia to allow Jefferson's monument to go Into such a state of decay that it was necessary to pass a bill to repair it. Mr.

Cox hope! that the gentleman would withdraw his objootlon. Jefferson did not belong to Virginia; be belonged to the whole country; and he (Mr. Cox) hoped that this little plttanoe would not bt grudged. Mr. Foster then withdrew his objootlon.

Mr. Hardenbergh, of Mew Jersey, stated that he had lately visited Montlcello, and bad found the grave ot Jefferson In a state of desolation. It was a standing reproach to the Ingratitude of a great Republic that the founder oi the Declaration of Independonoe should lie mouldering without a monument over his grave. The amount appropriated having, on motion of Mr. Oox (N.

been increased to $5,000, tha bill was passed. THE POST OFFICE APPBOPBIAIION The House then went into Committee of the Whole. Mr. Cox, of Mew York, in the ohalr, on the Post Office Appropriation bill. Tbe amount rooommended by tbe bill is $33,190,373, a reduotion of $987,770 from that of last year.

Mr. Beebe, of New York, In commenting upon the' extravaganoi of the Post Omcs Department, compared the cost ot the Brooklyn Post OfUoe in 1860, when the city had a population of 266,000, with that of Peoria, with 20,000 inhabitants in 1877, the former being (for salary of postmaster and for clerk hire) $5,353, and tbe latter $3,200. He argued that there was nothing in the facilities given, nothing in the lnorease or population aud nothing in the lnoreue of the service, to warrant the increaso of the cost in 1877 to $10,509,000, as against $3,500,000 In 1860. Mr. Chittenden (N.

.) sungested that when the details of the Post Offloe business were thoroughly Investigated it would be found that there were more abuses connected with it than with any other branch of the publio service. He believed that tbe abusos were chiefly in transportation. He believed tbat some railroads werepald at least double what tbey ought to be paid nd he believed that In the atar service there were equal abuses. He thought that a Commission should oe appointed to investigate the question, and to ascertain how, without any detriment to the publio eervloe, the PoBt Office Department can be made eelf sustainlng as it ought to be made and aa It is in England. The debate was participated in by Mr.

Clymer, of Mr, Waddell, ol N. aud other members, and about four o'clock the House adjourned. WAS HE MURDERED 1 Mysterious Disappearance of a Brook lyn Ulan in new Hotts, A young men residing in this oity, named Frank mysteriously disappeared In New Tork on Saturday last, and fears are entertained by bis relatives that he bas boen foully dealt with. He orossed tbe river In the evening to purchase a pair of boots. having in his possession bills amounting to about $50, Aftor 11 o'clock that night an officer saw blm In Water street In company with four men.

A curicu" political combat took place last night In tbe offlco ot tho Registrar ot Arrears. In tbe private room of the head of the bureau, comfortably furnished and brilliantly lighted at the publio ex perise, ten representatives of the so called Independent, antl Bing Democratic element put their heads together and for several hours oonferred together as to the best method to be adopted to bring about a complete revolution in local government. The ten were composed of five members of tbe "Unique" organization and five of tbe morerecestly organized Oeneral Committee of Flahertyitet, self constituted a few evenings ago at Everett HalL Among them were Alderman O'Beilly, Commissioner Flaherty, John O.

Kelly, Albert Smith, Registrar of Arrears Steele and N. McQregor Steele. Mr. Smith was tbe spokesman for the Uniques, and in a long address referred to the great sacrifices which had been made by that body during the past three years and to tbe brilliant results which had been accomplished by tbelr influence. He wished it to be understood that tbe Uniques would not surrender their existence, unletB tbey were assrfred that thetrjim portanee would receive due recognition In the new movement.

O'Beilly and Flaherty stated their grievances, end assured tbe representatives of the Uniques bat their only object was to strengthen the Independent element, and sink all personal ambitions for th purpose of putting a close to Blng rule and Boss dictation. After a long discussion. resolution was adopted recommending that both organizations should unite and form a new Oeneral Committee, the election of delegates to wbioh should take place on the first Wed cesday in May. It was also agreed that the inspectors to take charge of these primaries shonld be appointed by tbe joint Committee of Fifty from both bodies. AIXEGBO AHD SAN BODCI SOCIALS.

The Feeling About the Dead Boss in New York. Arravgomente tor tbe Funeral Smo In terestlngr Remtnlgceuces The Bin Wed dlngr Mra. Tweed The Family Scattered. In New York yesterday, the leading topic of conversation was tho death of William M. Tweed.

HI. demise was a genuine surprise to all but bis most intimate friends and his medical attendants. Ia the clnbs, and at all tae political and social centres, little elBB was talked of beside the passing away of the former Boss and his areattal career. On all hands a feeling of sympathy for his relatives was entertained. Even his most luveterate enemies, in speaking of him, preferred Co allude to the brighter side of his life rather than to the oriminal acts which destroyed bia reputation and brought him down to an untimely grave.

About the old. Seventh Ward, where Tweed always enjoyed the greatest personal popularity, there was a general expression of sorrow. Many of tbe ancient firs laddies who used to run with "Big 8," even now regard ''the old man," as they called him, with feelings of tho deepest affeotlon, nfld they will revere his memory as long as they live. Wherever they gathered they recalled the many little Incidents in which they were participants, with an Interest peculiar to the veteran "vamps." A VETEEAN VAMP'g STORY. Said one aged and grizzled fellow to the writer: "Boy, you ought lo have seen him in the old times.

They didn't make them any better in those days, and I don't believe that those days have been Improved npon yet. Why, he was quioker than a cat on his feet, with all his 200 pounds. I was thinking last night, after I heard of his deatb, of one night not long after he was made foreman. It was In the dead of Winter, one of your regular tough Winters, when tbe was piled np three feet in some places. We got an alarm about 1 o'clock.

There were only about seven of us in the house, Bill Tweed was in hie bunk aud we thought ho was asleep, but he was the Qrst to hear the bell, and before we knew anything about it he had his hat and boots on and the doors open. 'ItH Ue a pretty rough pull, he said, 'but we're in for it, so hers wo He took hold of tho rope, ind we started the old double decker, taking her down Henry street on the sidewalk. For a little party, Lord, how we did make her spin I You oouldn't see tho spokes of the wheels. It was down hill, and all went well till we got to tho first creasing. Tbe sidewalk, were fairly dear, but the middle of the street was filled with banks.

Well, whon we struck the drifts, we oame to a short etop, but we wore going 00 fast that we would have got dear across to the opposite ourb If tbo now hadn't been so deep. There we stuck. The snow was still coming dowu1but through it we oould see the glare of the tiro. It was a big tenement house In Duane street, and a hotter fire I never saw. Bays the 'Boys, something's got to bo What'll we do says we.

'Lift her up and carry her says he, and he stooped down and (jot bold of the box. We all took hold and made an effort. It was a good deal LIES MOVIKO A HOUSE, but wo did it, snd away we rattled again. Before we got to the next corner, some more of tbo lads had come up, and after that we pulled her through the drifts. Now you oan bet that "Big 6" bad tho first stream on that Are, and you can Bee what kind of a fireman the Bobs was.

He was 000 of 'em, taka him as you would. In the fights we used to hare aud, Lord koowo, there were many of 'em bo was always at the front. Why, bless you, I've seen him wade in alone with a trumpet and clean out a whole hook and ladder company who tried to keep ahead of us In the car track. I'm sorry he's gone, and 1 think they ought to let np on him now and tbe old vamp, as he concluded his Btory, wiped a big tear from the oorner of his eye and applied himself to the demolition of a glass of hot giog. The poor of the old Fourth Senatorial District remembered tbe old man kindly.

Thoy had many favors from his bands. It mattered little to them wbenoe the money came, or with what motive it woe given. They knew that it bought them coal and clothing, and kept tbe wolf of hunger from the door, when without it the ravenous beast would havo boited aoroso the tbroshold. There ie little reason to doubt that if Tweed had lived and regained Ms liberty he oould have carried the district for any cmce to which he might aspire. A crowd lingered about Ludlow streot Jail yestorday, staring at the gratod windows as if they contained the spirit of the dead man and they hourly expected bis appearance among tbem.

The Warden and Matron of the institution, and all the attendants, deplored the decease of Tweed. His manner had softened wonderfully of late. He was no longer querulous. The old arrogance had died away, and be had become as gentle and kindly in hlB demeanor as a little child. MrB.

Fltzsim mons spoke of him in tho most favorable terms, and regretted bis deatb. "I would have liked to havo seen blm at liberty," sho said. tweed's family. Of oourse Tweed's houio wsa oompletely broken by his downfall. His family are scattered over the faoe of the earth.

Not one of his relatives was at his bedside when he passed away. His wife, to whom he was deeply attached, went to Europe some weeks ago in very delicate health. She is almost prostrated by her troubles, and to add to her melancholy situation the light of one of her oyes has been destroyed by a lingering disease and the other has been materially impaired. cable dispatch, informing her of tho death of her husband, has been forwarded, and It Is probable that aha has by this time reoalved it. Her friends yesterday expressed a doubt as to whether she would survive the shock.

Mrs. Tweed is accompanied abroad by her eldest son, William M. Tweed, who, in the palmy days of the old Ring, waa called "the General," It fs not probable that Airs, Tweed, if the reoovera from the effect of the sad tidings which have by this time reached her, will ever return to this oountry, where there are so many melancholy memories and associations. One of the dead Bass' oounsel said yesterday that she was iu somewhat straltenol pocnnl ary olroumstanoea, and that she oould live abroad muoh cheaper than she oould here. sirs.

Maglnnls, the seoond daughter, with her bus band, resides in New Orleans. This is the lady whose tnarrrlsge caused suoh a flatter. It saourred when the Ring was in the heydey of its prosperity, and those who witnessed the oeremoay and attended the grand reception afterward held at the palatial residence on Filth avenue, will(never forget the porgeous display there made. Almost everybody In any way connected with the affair, of the municipality or related to Tweed in his many business sohomea, sent a gift. The presents would have graced the nuptials of a prinooss.

Costumes were worn whloh wero brought by special agents from Paris. The fair bride's dainty bootees were clasped by diamond buckles. Columns of gush and sentiment afterward, descriptive of the affair, appeared In (the morning papers and some of the illustrated publications printed pictures of the scene within the parlors. Among the presents were many from tho most prominent citizens of tbe Metropolis. Mrs.

Maglanis ia on her way from New Orleans to attend the funeral of her father. The eldoot daughter, Mrs. Douglass, 1b residing with her husband, a worthy gentleman, uptown in New York. Bichard Tweed, the second son, la also in New York, but neither could reach the bedside ot the dying man In time to witness his decease. Two young sons are at school in Massachusetts.

what Tweed's counsel say. An Eaolm reporter yesterday asked Mr. John D. TownBeud, Tweed's counsel, if the latter had left any will. Mr.

Towusend said "So far is I know he has made no will, and if he had made one I think I would have known it. Tbe fact Is, theie was no necessity of his making a will. All the property bo hi was recorded In the communication he madt. to thj Attorney Oeneral asking for his release, He offered to give it all up. The men who have kept him in prison in the face of that offer are to a.

large extent responsible for bis death. Bchoonmaker bos been just as bad as Falrchild was. They both know that they should have granted his release. Fair child fallod to do It through dishonest motives Schoonmaker failed to do it beoause he was afraid. Both, in my opinion, are equally onlpable." "Will tbe State sue the estate for tbe recovery ot moneys stolen by Tweed asked the reporter? rests with Mr.

Schoonmaker," replied Mr. Towneend. "They oan buo, but I don't think they will ge muoh." ifr. Edelstine, formerly of eounsol for Tweed, was with him when he died. Ho said yesterday that he dlod very easily, He knew of no will that bad been left by tbe deceased and didn't believe he had any property to leave.

TBE FUNERAL. The remains of Mr, Tweed lie at the residence of bis son in law, Mr. Douglass, No. 07 East Seventy eeventh street. The body is still kept In an ice box, sad wlU not probably, be placed ic tbo casket or coffla that is being marjb for it until an hour or so before the funeral.

A policeman is stationed in front of the door to prevent callers from disturbing the family In their grief. To tho bell pull la attached long streamers of crape and all I the inside window blinds are tightly closed. Hbe 1 body ol Mr. Tweed lies in the front parlor, and the un I dertakot's assistants are kept busy every fetv hoars 1 placing ice on and about it. In response to I the Eagle reporter's ting, Mr.

Douglass came to tho door. He said that he and his wife were alone in charge of the body, and though several persona hod oalled, none were admitted. In reply to a question as to when the funeral would taka place, he said, I can I not tell you, as; no time has yet been fixed. We desire to have ft extremely private and shall not issue any ln vitatlons. He is a private man and we do not sel that there Is any necessity for the slightest display, I know that he hid many friends who would like to pay the last sad, tribute of respect to him, bat we do not wiBh to have any show whatever.

I do not desire I to be discourteous, but I must decline an swering questions as to wneiher or not we shall wait until other members of the family return to the city. I cannot tell you whether any publio announcement of the funeral will be made. It will be very quiet." Mr. Douglass looked worn out and his eyes were red from woeplng. His wife is very III and in the doepest grief over the death of her father.

From the undertaker It was learned 1 that the remains of Mr. Tweed would be in terred in greenwood, where he has family vault and a large plot. The funeral services will be conducted by Bsv. Dr. Price, of Hempstead, the clergyman who married Mr.

and Mrs. Tweed. The funeral will probably take place on Tuesday or Wednesday. Tweed' Last Appeal For Liberty. About a month ago Mr.

John D. Townaend submitted a statement of the case of Wm. U. Tweed, together with an appeal for his release to Attorney Oeneral Schoonmaker. While watting for the decision on his Anal appeal, Tweed fretted his life out.

The statement contains the following points which have not heretfora been mads publio Mr. Towniend opens with a lengthy statement of his connection with the Blng suits as oounsel for E. A. Woodward, when he had several interview, with Ohas. O'Conor, who, he says, regarded Woodward as the mere olerk and tool of others.

When Tweed was'returned to Mew York, on November 33, 1876, by the Dnited States authorities, Woodward expressed desire that Mr. Townsend would sot sa Tweed's oonn.el, if he, Tweed, should make a proffer of confession and restitution In consideration of bis discharge from imprisonment. Mr. O'Oonor was first spoken to npon the matter of Tweed a few days prior to bis arrival in New York, bat no actual assur anoe was given Mr. Townsend that If Tweed promised to Win State's evidence and make restitution, be weald Prom edition.

An Interesting Talk with an ex Member of tbe Democratic State Committee. Special Correspondence of the Eagle. ALBAtrt, N. April 18. Dear Eagle The announcement of the death of William M.

Twood was received here at about noon yesterday. It was first made publio through a private dispatch, received by a.Democratlc member of tbe Benate from tho City of New York. He was dla poid to regard the announcement as a hoai but the dispatch wa3 passed around, noverthelees, and al1 other buslneee gave way to its dlsousslon. The verification of the news seomod to be the only business In order. Half a dozen other private dispatches, to tha same effect as that Just noted came In rapid buoosbbIod.

to mcmberB of both Houses. Men gathered in knots In and around the Capitol, and the little groups yould merge into eaoa other, and again break up, AiBOuasing ibe reported end ot the Boas" of the old days, when he was tbe most notable, poworful and conspicuous man at the State Capital. An editor of one of. the looal papers, who ajaumed he had the earliest news, bustled up to the orowd that had now assembled In tho corridors of the Capitol, aud road a dispatch, received through the "ABBOOlatod PresB," making tho announosment tbat "William M. Tweed tiled at twelve o'olook to day, In Ludlow street Jail," with such other details as loft the authenticity of the news beyond question.

POPULAE BrMPATEtr. There Is no use to aiagulBO the faot, "Boas Tweed" was popular at Albany. I did not hear one man, of any party, speak of his doath except in torms of sympathy and regret. If Tweed could have been brought to Ufa again and restored to liberty, on the unanimous petition of both Housoe of tbe Legislature, I think to day this oondltlon would have been oompliod with. His offenses were forgotten all tbat was best about the man was remembered.

The exigences of polities wsre swept away by hla death, and for the first time, perhaps, since William M. Tweed became known in the polttlos ot this State, those who shared in the polittoal activities of bis time were tree to speak about him aa they felt, without fear of personal or political 'considerations. His bluff aud hearty manner, his coDoeded disposition to do "a good thing" when he could for anybody who asked him, bis liberality when an appeal was made to him for any ohariiy, werell remembered in his favor, Tweed's times were "flush" times here, and the money that helped to make them "fluflb," did not oome out of the pockets of the rural members, or of tho Albany people who profited by him, and so Tweed's name la associated In tbelr minds with the days whon, as one of Tweed's old Eepublioau friends sb id "Host auy man, who had political influence, eould ttnva got a little money for the asking of it," TWEED AND THE DEL AY AN WAITERS. When I got down from "the Hill" to tha Delavan House, I found tha colored waiters gathered together, discussing the news, and they had no fear of rebuke for suspending their ordinary avocations, either, for the proprietora and clerks were as much absorbed as they wore in commenting on the all engrossing topic. "Joo" ail the Brooklyn people know "Joe" looked like the ohtef mourner at the fuueral of a near relative The oooasion seemed to Justify "Jco" in being unusually familiar, aud with tears In his voice and moisture in his eyes, too, he cn ne toward mo.

"Laws a said "Joe," "lo think that the old tiosa should a died, this way, in the jail. I novor blev'd them when they aed he'd never be bore again. I was sure he'd a bested thorn some time, and ooms back brlngiug good times with him. I was sure gone tbat tbe old Boss" would get away with them, and to think how they have gone and killed him In tbe jail But they didn't kill him, Joe, he died." Died said J09, they killed the old man, sure's you live. How could he, that had live in the jail Laws, a massa, they know'd they was a killing him." "But, Joe." I ventured to suggest, "old man Tweed stole a great deal of moaoy, and, of course, hs was punished for It.

Never know'd anything, 'bout that," said Joe, hear'd a good deal of 'form and 'conomy, and never know'd no good to come of it. It never paid. It was very much agin us, boys. Wo had 'formers all the time since the Boss was here, but what good did tbey do anyboJy I wants the old times back, and now that the old Boss is gone, I s'poso they'll never oome." The old man was pretty liberal with the waiters, Joe. How did he treat youf" "I did not used to tend on the old man wasi't lucky enough for tbat but aeom'd to me, he made everybody good to the boys here.

They all wanted to come up to him, I 'spqse. Nothln' wrong with young Maaaa Lord, and the gem'en he ueed to have here with him and the old Brooklyn boys were nloe gem'en too, but they all went away with the old 'Pears to me, we'll never have suoh times again, no how." And so Joe went on to bemoan the loss ot the old man, and Joe was only giving frank expression In his own way to what a great many people were saying In a more roundabout and less direct fashion, TWEED IN STATE POLITICS. A little later I happened to ba in tha room of an old Demooratfo politician, an ox member of tbe State Central Cominittoa, who had been prominent In the councils of his party before Tweed's time, and during the wild era when the "Old Mau's" word w3 law. The old politician had had his dinner, and he was in a talkative mood. His conversation I will try to reproduce, as I remember it, and it may afford the readers of the Eagle what may be termed an inside view of New York State politios during memorable occasions of a very exciting and singular era.

Eagle You knew Tweed vory well, Mr. D. Mr. D. Well, no my intercourse with htm was not ci0s6 1 Mine vfaa, if you may oall it eo, a politioal ao anaintance, Eagle When did he come into promlnenoe in State politios? Mr.

D. After Dean Rlohmood's death, which was, I think, in 1866. There was a sort of struggle for his place. But nobody that oame to the trout quite filled the bill. "Sammy" Tilden aspired to ba the Demo oratlo lander, but be laoked aa much as any man could the personal magnetism of both Blohmond and Tweed bluff, hearty men both who never pretended to be auy better than their neighbors, either as men or politicians.

After Tweed and bis associates had fortified themselves in Now York, they stretched out for State control. The Tammany ohiefs seemed to us, In the country, to have elevated politics in the City of New York. At all events, they brought a more presentable class of moD into publio affairs there, and they were not ouly successful themselves, but they gave tbe State tlcKot lmmenao You may say what you please, but if you lived in my oounty, where a Democrat had no more chance of being elected than of being struck by lightning, you.would have had a warm aide for the men who sent us the news, tbe morning after an election, that the oity had rolled up the big majority which gave us the State, and encouraged us to keep up the old Democratic organization in places where, at one time, there were not Democrats enough to keep one another in countenance. Hoffman's election as Mayor was tbe nrst great point the Tammany people made. It was a shrewd move.

Hoffman was Recorder, and bad made a big reputation as a just and severe judge severe with tho criminal classes. He desir to remain on tho bench, I know, but he was an available man, and he waa made to run for Mayor, prob ably under the promise of greater honors. Hoffman Is a presentable and a very able mau abler than he ever yet got credit for. As Mayor ho was in no way embarrassed In hla owd doslre to add to his reputation. He made a good Mayor, and he was put on tho track for GoverDor, and Oakoy Hull, a clever man too, was held in reserve to take Hoffman's place.

By the way, Tweed's first conspicuous evidence of strength in Jjtato politios was shown In beating you people from Kings County. There were three elements represented la Democratic councils in tbe State at that time. Tbe Western Democrats who bad among thorn some of fho ablest and shrewdest men In tho State; the Tammany Chiefs, with New York at their baok, and Mr. Tilden, who was supposed to be strong both with the wealthy Demoorsts of New York City aud the rural voters throughout tbe State, and especially along the line of the river counties. Tilden was more or less disturbed by both tbe other factions always.

They gravitated round each other for this reason: Kings County was deemed then to bo the natural leader antagonism to New York City. The Kiuga County men presented a candidate for Governor In HON, H. O. MTJBPHY and the chances of bis success seemed to be exoellent. Before the New York people bad made up their minds to present Hoffman 'sname, tbey were inclined to favor Mr.

Murphy, a conBistont and an able Democrat, who had secured especial prominence by the faot that the defense of tbe principles of tbe party in the Legislature devolved on him, for years together. There he had no rival. During one of his terms of service, there were but Ave Democrats in the Senate, and of these Mr. Murphy alone bad any considera ble reputation or ability. Even after New York fi ts bad agreed on Hoffman, Murphy's chances of a 00u obtaining tha gubernatorial nomination were good, for it was supposed tbat the old alliance between Klnga County and the Western and rural Democracy could be easily renewed.

The "old Oanal" people joined forces with Tweed, and Murphy himself made a feeble ngbt. The State Convention was held at Albany that year. Tho Brooklyn people came up here with a great flourish of trumpets. A regiment of men came ud on a steamboat, and, beaded by a brass band, marohed in Imposing array to this hotel, decorated with badges bearing the name of "Kings County's Fa te Son." The contest was over before tbey oame. voi.

was in command In person, and before tba Twesi. on met, be bad personally conferred with al Coavsnv delegate. Three fourths of them bad com most ever selves lot Hoffman. It was tha first year 1 apltality tbat afterward became so com ZT i hemaelM8." Tireed'. teams were waloosv.

The will gave Mrs. BetCs the use ot the property during her lifetime, or until she married, when it waa to go to his two nieoes, and when their offspring became ot age it was to be equally devlded among them.

Mrs. Betts married Nathaniel Sayre in 1806. Mr. Waters came Into possession of the farm, whloh is now the Village of Laurel Hill, having purchased it at auotlon. There was a piece of woodland which formed part of the estate, but rfhloh was not sold with the farm, or at any other time for the acoount ot the estate, but Mr.

Waters took possession ot it and held It undisturbed for more than fifty years, us lne the wood for his own profit and oomfort. He finally sold it. This suit is brought by one of the heirs to oust the purchasers. The property is worh (30.000. Jesse Johnson appeared tor the plaintiff and Mr.

Waldron for the defendants. A made case was submitted by counsel and Judge Barnard dtreoted a verdlot for the defendants, the counsel stipulating to have it sot aside, if upon an examination of the papers such a oourse is deemed just.

The parties reside in Hempstead, THE SIXPENNY SAVINGS BANK, The depositors ot the suspended Sixpenny Savings Bank met yesterday at the First District Court House, Mew York. Tbe Committee appointed at the previous meeting presented a report in which they stated that the officers ot the bank bad made ambiguous and unsatisfactory replies to their requests for information, and they expressed tho opinion that the Superintendent of Banks was right in dosing th doors. They expressed no faith In the sincerity of the offers of certain trustees to moke up the deficiency. Many of the bonds and mortgages were reported insufficiently secured or absolutely worthless.

The Committee reported the nominal assets at $1,738, 140, and the liabilities $1,810,671. Tbe report approves of the appointment of the receiver and expressoa the opinion that a dividend of 40 per cent, will soon be paid, and that ultimately the amount paid will reach 80 per cent. COMPASt II, FIFTKESTII BATTALION. Another meeting of some of the old members of the Twenty eighth Regimentor the purpose ot recruiting was hsld on Thursday evening, at Baum gaertaer's Military Hall, corner of Boholas and Leonard atreets. Captain William Heerdt, occupied the chair.

Among thosa present were: Captain Jamea Lynob, Inspector of Rifle Practice Captain Alsgood. and Major Bappenhagen, of the Fifteenth Battalion. There were thirteen new reorults added to tha roll, of whatVill be known as Oompany JTuTteonth Battalion. The total membership Is 55 men, and about two weeks from now It la expected that the Oompany will be mustsred. The Trustees of the Eastern District Hospital held a meeting Stats in their room in tbe Sings Oounty Bank building, on Broadway, comer of fourth street.

Tht Committee on Ways and Meant made aa encouraging report. Apothecary HardeutJe reported that 2,377 patients were treated during tha past month The number of prescriptions put up was 2.M9. Surgeon Fleming's report showed that 119 patients were treated in bis department. There wera only four patients In the institution on the let AprU, oondemnod until they had a full opportunity of meeting the charges mada against them. To exclude the Tammany delegation was to oondemn that organization before the Tammany leaders had a obance of meeting their accusers.

TAMMANY EXCLUDED. Although I was a member of tbe State Committee, I never knew exaoily what Tilden intended to do, in the first place. He revealed a vindiotlveness of oharaoter new to me. He soemed to me to be resenting the humiliation he thouzht he had suffered In aaomiea to act ao long in subordination to Tweed, Sweeny Co. Rochester was orowdod with "roughs" from New York, threatening revenge if the Tammany delegation was excluded.

EingB County was appealed to to take the lead and get even with New York. But this position her representatives refused to take, much to Tilden's disappointment, I remember. The night before the Convention met, It was announced that Tweed bad left New York for Booheater, and that he would arrive on a late train. There wore three thousand of bis admirers and stipendiaries at the depot to meet him when he oame, and he was escorted to the hotel by enthusiastic crowds, who thought that the presence of the "Boss" was all tbat was needed to secure admission for Tammany. Tweed consulted promptly with bis friends, and in ao hoar came to his conclusion: The Tammany Hall delegation would not seek admission to this State Convention, If the places from New York wero left vaoant.

By tbe time the next Convention met, tho men, he said, who had been ao unjustly accused would vindicate themselves and tbelr organization. All that Tilden insisted on bad been conceded apparently, but he waa not satisfied, and if he had had his way he would have gone further. Tho Tammany delegation waa, however, excluded, and 'Tweed, when he left Ronheater, made hie exit troru State politics turever. From that time till last year Tilden has in chief control of the Democratic organization. TWEED'S AMBITION.

Eagle What do you thinkf was Tweed" ambition money merely 1 Mr. D. Not that alone. He liked money for the use it could be put to. He enjoyed life and he Uved high He had everything that money could prooure and some things it ought not to be used to prooure.

He loved power as muoh as money. He laid out a far reaohing stmeme Hoffman for President, Oakey Hall for Governor of New York, Sweeny probably United States Senator, and Tweed boas of Federal politics. Nor was tho scheme preposterous. It seemed to be almost within their reach at one time. Eagle Did Tweed subscribe largely for political purposes Mr.

D. Yes, and Ws gifts were not bounded by State lines, because bis politioal achemes were not. There wore a score of Democrats in the House of Representatives at one time he had helped with money to carry tbelr districts. In the opinion of those men and In view of the position Tweed had scoured for hla party, he wsb a statesman for a time. Eagle Wero you well acquainted with Sweeny 7 Mr.

D. Better than with Tweed. He was an able man. He talked politios politioal prlaolplos. He was a mysterious man and his associates never quite understood him.

We used to think tbat Sweeny contjnt with a moderate fortune, so that while we used to rate Tweed as being worth we put down "Fetor as being worth but Whatever vioea Sweeny had he con cealed them, Tweed rather openly displayed tiidrfl. Eagle Have you ever met Connolly? Mr. 'D. "Slippery DIok" was a grasping, eeldsh rascal. He oreated a great deal of Tweed's trouble.

Ho insisted on quartering bia relatives In high places in New York. Esgle There ia a good deal of sympathy felt for Tweed here how do you aocouut for it Mr. D. Well iu various ways. Ho was, personally, a hearty, companionable fellow.

Ho was liberal with his money, and he had a certain sort of popularity of what we may call the "Robin Hood" or "Dick Turpin" kind. Inasmuch as he stole from New York City it was aessumd he stole from the rich, and he gave some to the poor. But there I. a better reason for tho ponnltr Instinct than this. It must have been suspected by all of us that Tweed was not getting bia money honestly.

Still he waa not only tolerated but looked up to. This makes the public share in the wrong. He was not the only wrong doer of hla kind. The others have all pretty muoh escaped. This is not fair, and the people like fair play.

He was not punished at last either under the ordinary powers of our laws. HIb personal assailants were mads up largely of men who were diverting suepioloo from themselves by their zeal in denouncing blm. This told in Tweed's favor. Eagle Then you thick he ahould have been liberated? Mr. D.

Did yon, my young friend, ever hear the story that Abe Lincoln told when ha was asked tl It wag bis deBire that Jeff Davis should be allowed to get out of the country after the rebellion had been put down There was, said Mr. Lincoln, a temperauoe leoturer out In my part of the oountry. He was traveling on a dusty road on a hot day, and he stopped at a tavern and called for a glass of soda water. "Shall I put 'itiok' in it 7 said the landlord. "Well, my friend," waa the reply, "I tm a temperance lecturer, and I am not in a position to make such request, but If there was a 'stick' pat In that soda water unbeknownst to me, I don't know tbat it would do anybody any barm." When Tweed got away to Spain, leaving hla property behind him, I was glad of it.

When he was brought back, I waa Borry for it. I vish he bad died out of jail, and s'tdl, ft Tweed had get out of the olutches of the law, and had retained the 1 leans of living affinently, It ia difiloult to aes how we could decently punish petty offenders, or vindicate our form of government, whloh this man did ao much to disgrace. And here so muoh of the Interview as can be properly published, In view of the rights and feelings ot others, olosed. U. THE PEOPLE'S LIRE FOB ALBA I.
