When It was first proposed to send the gift by express an Indignant protest came from the gift committee and contributors, but the executive committee has overriden all objections." Several or Mrs. Titcomb's friends were present during the interview and corroborated her statements. An explanation of the Woodruff affair was made after the election, at the meeting of the league. Mrs.

Calvin E. Hull wished to set the members straight as to her alleged breach of eti quetto on that occasion. She said she went Into no part of the house except by the special Invitation of tho hostess. The house was thrown open and was very pretty, hut, she said, the ladles entered no room In which they were not invited. The invitation to the members of the gift committee, issued at the request of Mrs.

Woodruff, was as follows: Tlinmcli the courtesy Mr. am Mrs. Timothy Woodruff a ririvate exhibition of the McKlnley pold vane will be plven at their home, corner of KiKhth avenue and President street, on Saturday evening. November 2.S, at o'clock. You are cordially Invited to attend.

Mrs. particularly desires tile Rift committee to help receive Saturday, from 2 till fi, rind all the evening, at her Iiouh: The patriotic societies and ladles' clubs are invlteil through the press, as you see. Or, n't to lie there by 2 o'clock. In great haste. A.

K. ABUEY. Thursday, Ninth street. was a Republican bosB. He used the police for political purposes In the city and at state conventions wherever and whenever he could serve tho political aspirations of Senator Reuben B.

Fenton, the Republican leader, who figured as a rival of Senator Conkling. Never before were the police so brazenly ordered to political duty. Mr. Tilden thus describes how an honest paper was deceived by the ring: "On the 6th of April, 1870, the day after the passage of the act granting New York city to the ring, the Times, in an article headed, 'Municipal hailed this measure as a reform; derided the Union League club and Mr. Greeley with their 'entire lack of Influence' in that 'so pronounced an expression' against the charter had 'not been heeded by at least one Republican and said that: 'ir It shall be put In operation by Mayor Hall, with that regard to the general welfare which we have reason to anticipate, we feel sure our citizens will have reason to count yesterday's work In the legislature as most Important and "On the 8th It declared: 'Senator Tweed Is in.

ja. fair way to distinguish himself as a reformer'; that 'he had put the people of Manhattan island under great obligations' 'We trust that Senator Tweed How a City Was Plundered Under a So Called "Reform Measure" A Provision in the New Charter Concerning the Mayor Explained by the Pas The Governor May Remove. (if o. 3.) In response to a request lor Information concerning the history of the Infamous Tweed charter writer of this column drops for the day, the discussion of the draft char ter of the greater Now York, and presents. a few leaves from the records of dark days, when the greatest of modern robbers plundered a city of millions of dollars under the temporary protection of a so called "reform charter." The chief of these civic brigands was "William M.

Tweed; his associates are named in the story which follows. A thieving board of supervisors, made up in part of Democrats and In part of Republicans, 'had plundered the city of New York steadily for years up to 1S70, and still their thirst for spoils was not sated. They desired to perpetuate their official power, but fearing to go before the people to secure by election the offices desired, they decided to obtain that power from the provisions of a new charter. The revolt of tho young Democracy made tho rlngsters fearful of the results of an election, and they agreed that It would be safer to appeal to a notoriously corrupt legislature. In a letter written January 23, 1873, Samuel J.

Tilden, to whom the chief credit of the overthrow of the Tweed ring Is due, gave a concise history of the methods employed In securing the passage of the charter, and of the gigantic robberies perpetrated under It. From this letter the following extracts are made: "A sham was necessary to tlie ring. Moral support was necessary to sustain tlhelr imposture. None of the ring ever caime near me; but Mr. Nathaniel Sands often called to talk over city reforms.

He sometimes "brought my honored end esteemed friend, Mr. Peter Cooper. They were convinced the ring had become conservative were not ambitious of more wealth were on the side of the taxpayers. I told Mr. Sands I would shelter no sham.

I would co operate with anybody for a good charter. The light of heaven must "be let In on the stagnant darkness of the city administration. The men to oome into office must enter aifter a vote of the people. I did not bel'ieve the ring would a gree to that. I would agree to nothing else.

"Suddenly a chax tar was sprung by Mr; Tweed and rushed forward very fast. I was convinced It would pass. A clerk in one of the private offices came privately to tell me 'the stuff had been sent There was a movement to resist It. Mr. Jackson S.

Scfhultz (president of the Union League cluJb), Mr. Baiiey and others were In motion. The Union Iieaiguo club appointed acomm.Ktee of fifteen to go t6 Albany' to My co operation was asked' I had little hope. I expected a large Republican support of Mr. Tweed's scheme.

But I thought it right to do the utmost for those who were willing to make an effort. I fel't more scorn than I ever remem'bor to have felt for the pusillanimity of tho hour. I had no objections to hang up my solitary protest against the crime about to be committed. I rnade a speech before Mr. Tweed and his comimittee of the senate." Mr.

Tilden made a ringing protest against the charter in general, and savagely denounced the provision whi'ch gave the mayor power to appoint heads of departments and commissioners, whose terms at office were to range from four to eight years. In part he said: "This charter is defective in another respect, in that it makes the ejection of charter officers co Incident with that of the state and federal officers. The municipal election of a mill Ion of people is of sufficient importance to be dealt with by Itself, and by so doing you avoid the mixing of municipal interests with state and national interests. "After a period of twenty years, for the first time, the party to which I belong, possesses all the powers of the government. have a strong and anxious desire that it should make for the city of New York a gov prnment popular in its form.

Mr. Chairman, I am not afraid of the stormy sea of popular liberty. We, no doubt, have fallen upon evil times. I still trust the people. We, no doubt, have had many occasions for distrust and alarm, but I still believe that in the activity generated by.

the effectual participation of the people in the administration of the government, you would have more purity and more safety than under the system to which we have been accustomed. It is in the stagnation of bureaus and commissions that evils and abuses are generated. The storms that disturb the atmosphere clarify and purify it. It will be so in politics and municipal administrations if we will cnily trust the people." But the bill passed: Its passage had been purchased in advance. When tho Tweed ring was overthrown, it was ascertained that contractors sharing the plunder of the ring contributed as follows to the purchase of legislation at Albany the purchase of Republican senators and assemblymen: Garvey advanced.

March 30... Garvey advanced, April 17 Ingersoll contributed Keyser contributed Miller contributed Hall contributed 40,000 50. COO 25,000 25,000 25,000 Others also made contributions to the fund raised for the purchase of legislation at Albany. The style in which the Democratic senators from New York lived at Albany is indicated by the fact that, Tweed's hotel bill for one hundred days' session of the legislature amounted to $13,000. In describing the results which followed the passage of the Tweed charter, Mr.

Tilden wrote: "The Tweed charter vacated tho office of street commissioner and of the functionaries of the Croton aqueduct department, within five days, vesting all their powers in a commissioner of public works, and required Mr. A. Oakey Hall to appoint that commissioner. It was known to everybody that Mr. Tweed was to be appointed.

Tho act passed on the 5th and on the 9th Mr. Tweed was appointed. His term was four years. The power of the governor to remove him on charges was repealed, and all powers of removal by the city government. Impeachment was restricted by the condition that the mayor alone could prefer charges, and trial could only be had if every one of the six judges of the common pleas was present.

"The offices of three of the five heads of the parks were granted for five years to Peter B. Sweeney, Thomas C. Fields and Henry Hilton, giving them control of tho Central park and every park of the city, and of the boulevards; suppressing Mr. Green and removing Messrs. Stebbins, Russell and Blatchford.

The office of chamberlain was granted to Mr. John J. Bradley. The department of police was granted to Messrs. Henry Smith, B.

P. Man niere, Bosworth and Brennan. Such a concentration of powers over this city was never before held by any set of men or any party as was thus vested In tho ring. The true character of the fraudulent measure was at ence freely exposed. The issue was made by Messrs.

Schulz, Bailey, Varnum, Greeley and others, and by the Union League club. All the features of the act were pointed out in their resolutions and remonstrated against. They were discussed, condemned and denounced In my speech published at the time. They were ably exposed by the World, the Evening Post, the Sun and the Tribune." Henry Smith, familiarly known as Honk, PRESIDENT OF THE WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN UNION LEAGUE. Spirited Session of That Body in the Course of Which.

Mrs. Tituomb Lays Down the Law and the Woodruff Reception Is Discussed. The election of officers by the Women's Republican Union League, which took place yesterday afternoon at the Johnston bulidir.g, was spirited, but not as "stormy" as had been predicted by some of tho good people of Brooklyn, who were anxious to be there and "seo the fun." The doors were kept locked during the meeting and none but members could got in. There were thirty five present, about one half of the rdemibership, according to the roll book. Mrs.

Titcomb presided. She called upon the secretary to call the roll and announce tho names of those 'who had completed their membership by signing the constitution and paying their dues, which would qualify them for voting. The constitution had not been signed by any one of the seventy enrolled members. Discussion on this point was hot and long, but Mrs. Titcomb carried the day and the constitution was signed by the following, all of whom had already paid their dues: Mrs.

Gertrude Andrews, Mrs. A. C. Parker, Mrs. Alvlda Smith, Mrs.

Anna C. Burkhart. Mme. Keatinu. Mrs.

"Woolley. Mrs. Titcomb insisted that she was but carrying out the Intention of the executive committee, who had taken things so completely Into Its hands, while Ignoring the wishes of the league. "And," added Mrs. Titcomb, "as not a member has signed the constitution, the action of the executive committee in so doing is amusing, as you have not been a legal body." "Proceed to business had been the cry of the opposing faction while Mrs.

Titcomb was holding out for the signing of the constitution. "When the last namo had been added she said: "We will now proceed to business, for we can do so legally." The nominating comitnittee, through its chairman, Mrs. S. B. Huyler, presented the following ticket, which was elected without opposition: President, Mrs.

Kate M. Bcsiwiclc; first vice president, Mrs. Charles Fiske; second vice president, Mrs. Calvin E. Hull; third vice president, Mrs.

E. W. Hatch; treasurer, Miss Minnie C. Hurley; recording secretary, Mrs. Gertrude Andrews; corresponding secretary, Mrs.

B. Huyler, Mrs. R. B. GullMm.

Dr. Charlotte H. Woolley, Miss Anna Burkhart, Mrs. O. H.

Conklln. "The reason that. there was no opposition ticket," said one of the seceders "was owing to the fact that Mrs. Titcomb, whom we desired as president, positively refused, some weeks ago, to take the nomination. Some of the members did not know that they could scratch the name on the printed ballot pre sented by the nominating committee and substitute others and so th.3 ticket went through." The reports of the recording secretary.

Dr. Charlotte H. Woolley, the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Kate M. Bostwick, and the treasurer, Miss Hurley, were presented and accepted.

The report or the gift committee appointed to provide a suitable tribute for Mrs. McKlnley was in effect as follows: "A gold vase is to be delivered Into the hands of Mrs. the lattor end of this week." After the meeting had adjourned it was admitted that the gold tribute from the league to Mrs. McKlnley had been sent by express, although the time of sending could not be obtained. The matter of the public exhibition of the vase at the home of Mr.

and Mrs. T. L. Woodruff, alw.ut which considerable, master has appeared In the papers, also came up for discussion and letters were produced to show that the members of the gift committee were Invited to spend the evening at Mrs. Woodruff's house.

These letters were pr duced in ccuitradlstinction to the statements that have been made that the exhibition was to begin at 2 and end at 6 P. M. After the adjournment of tho league a few minutes before 6 o'clock, the session having started at 2, a statement of the proceedings was asked for from Mrs. Bostwick and several of the other officers, but the only answer was: "We had a very harmonious meeting and that is all there is to say. We organized for campaign work to bo followed by political study and shall take up our programme at once." "How about the illegality of the proceedings and the signing of tho constitution?" was asked.

"Oh, we did that because Mrs. Titcomo and some of the members thought it would be a good idea and we wanted to be agreeable and harmonious." Mrs. V. C. Titcomb was seen later at her homo and mado the following slatemeiu: "Mrs.

Wlnslow and myvelf were the first movers toward forming this society. As I was not to return from the country until late in the fall I advised Mrs. Wlnslow to proceed with the work of organizing, suggesting. A. J.

Jacobs as an excellent person from whom to ask assistance with regard to securing names of women who might becyine members. At the request of Mrs. Wlnslow I wrote the first call which was issued over her name and printed in all the papers, calling for a meeting at her house. Mrs. Jacobs sent Mrs.

Winslow to Mr James Scrlmgeiur and also suggested Mrs. Bostwick as a possible aid In stKuring members. A meeting was finally held at Mrs. Wlnslow's house and another at the home of Mrs. Bostwick, and the league was organized by Mrs.

Jane Pierce of the New York State Republican Women's league as an auxiliary to that body. I had been urged repeatedly to accept a nomination for president and refused. At r.hs organization meeting the mistake was made of electing Mrs. Woodruff to the presidency without first obtaining her consent. I was elected first vice president at the same time, and on my return from the country I found that owing to Mrs.

Woodruff's declination the league without a president. For three meetings the vice presidents presided and then on motion of Mrs. Jacobs OI was elected president for the remainder of the term. The exigencies of the campaign work led me to overlook technicalities and omit tho enforcement of the rules. To day, however, I felt that as it was the annual meeting we should proceed in a proper manner and I asked that the constitution he signed, which was finally done, although some of the members were opposed at first to such a course.

I was asked six week ago to accept a nomination for president and positively refused. I have the kindliest feeling for the league and wish It all possible success, but I anounced that I would withdraw from membership and my formal resignation will probably be tendered at the next meeting. I am president of tho Patriotic League of the Revolution, an organization whoso aim Is to promote patriotism and which has been Tor some years in existence In this city. I have not the time to devote to other societies With so nearly the same ends In view." "How about the trip to Canton as the delegate Trom the league to present Mrs. McKin ley's vase?" was the next query.

"The matter was taken out or the hands or the gift committee and settled by the executive committee on Saturday last. I was present at part ot the session, but withdrew before a final decision was arrived at. It was the desire of the gift committee and of the contributors to the fund (all the. league did not subscribe) that the vase should be taken by a delegate and presented In a proper manner. I was chosen as that delegate and communicated with Mr.

McKlnley as to when It would be most agreeable to receive me. I was notified by telegram of the visit to Chicago of the President elect and his wife and have since been awaiting notice fr.mi Mr. McKlnley's secretary as to when they would be roady to receive the vase on their return to Canton. I bad suggested that it would be more courteous if the vase were rr nt as a tribute from the entire league instead oi' simply the contributors. Owing to that suggestion, which was acted upon, it was said that the vase passed from the control of the gift committee to that of the executive committee, and the latter decided to send the gift by express.

The souvenir book which was to accompany the gift is still in my possession. It contains the autographs of most of the contributors and if a new book has been sent with the vase I do not know anything about In tho winter nearly evoryono is a victim of coughs and Coughs colds.

25c. Monday night Mr. Holland opened In New York in the bill he played last week here and at the same time John Hare opened with bl English company In "A Hobby Horse." Now cne may enjoy Mr. Hare's work highly and yet understand that he is nowhere nearly so fine, so versatile nor so great an actor as Mr. Holland: that he Is not a great actor at all, in fact, while that adjective Is has been freely accorded to Mr.

Holland by expert judges, who do net use words lightly. Yet the Tribune turned off Mr. Holland's Colonel Carter with a couple of sticks of space and lavlsaed three times as much upon the foreign lm pertation. And the Tribune has not been and is not the only paper ready to recognize foreign merit in this disproportion. THE SEIDLi SOCIETY CONCERT.

Dast night at the Academy of Music th third of the season's concerts by the SeicU society was given under distinguished patronage. No new music was offered, excepting tho first violin cumber, but It was all good music and was greatly liked. Bronislaw Huberman, the boy who appeared ia the previous concert, was again the leading soloist, and he played on his violin as before, with e. maturo understanding, with poetical expression and with almost an excess of emphasis. A wonderful little fellow, that.

He has nothing of the boy about him, except his stature and his awkwardness in gait. His work is that of a man who has not only seen and Iniown, but has thought and felt and suffered. Few adult players have a technic so brlljlant as his, not one in a hundred plays with such a tartar or gypsy vim and dash when the music needs it. And the strength and ease with which Is all done aro remarkable. Tho lvish youngster played In Goldmark's concerto, which in Itself is no slight Teat of memory, and played it with a breadth and spirit that inspired not merely confidence but admiration.

That ho could do this spoke well for the piece, for it is not the least good ot tho few g.io eoncertr s. It Is. like most of Goldmark's work, exhibitlve, perhaps tawdry In spots, but oriental in its cpuience of instrumentation and its harmonies, and It makes great technical demands on the soloist. It ranks high in mere effectiveness and is generally deserving of praite for mere than than. Tho second movement in it Is an air in which we find a faint echo of Bach, not In style.

it would bo hopelpss to copy that but in sustained power and dignity. The last movement is sh'jwy and it reproduces a Mendelssohn effect, when the orchestra strikes in while the soloist is running the notes of tho chord. It would have been delightful if Huberman had repeated the Bach air that he played at the prior concert, for the light things that he gave to an accompaniment on the piano, while clever enough, were mere fingerings of tho strings and had no Important art in them. A plana, except when it is to be used in a concerto, ia cut of place in an After flrty musicians have been doing their best in gi eat music, the tinkle of a piano in other music sounds little enough. The was called out repeatedly and bowed his thanks to his auditors.

Mr. Seidl gav the prelude to "Lohengrin," the Rhine journey from the "Occtterdaommerung" and th swinging rido rf Phaeton in the chariot of the sun. as pictured in by Saint Saens. He also repeated two pieces by Auirust thor of this city, that were given at the beach concerts last summer: the love sons and wedding march from that composer's "Hiawatha." The work baa been revised a little since the first hearing, and advantage. Tho ending of the love song, for instance, is no lcjiger squarely c.i tho tonic, where It made a commonplace effect.

There is still In tho first number a little redundancy and repetition that might be corrected with advantage. As at first, the work impresses one favorably by reason of its spirit, its originality and its quaintness. Mr. Walther at least indicates a kind of work that deserves the encouragement of the public and the attention of musicians. He has not employed themes that are decidedly Indian, but he has hinted at them, and has suggested that such themes might really bo developed into symphonies and music dramas, as Dvorak rol lowing the lead of certain American critics recommended, and as he faintly indicated ia his New World syniph th High he rather suggests negro melodies in that when he suggests American themes at a.li.

The performance Volkmann's familiar serenade in min by Mr. Hiedricu, 'cellist, was marked by tiste and facile execution, but There is something tco much of unsupported phrases and of in tho work. The next concert will be given on the night of February 2. DINNER. TOTHE AG ED.

Richard Mansfield played "Richard III" at the Park theater last nignt with a wealth of scenic embellishment and a taste and historical sense in the mounting and costuming such as tho old play seldom receives. Mr. Mansfield is as far removed as possible from the school cif greait voiced and passionate ac tors who kept play warm in the hearts at our grandfathers by the tragic power wftieh they put into it. His idea in taking up the part seems to have been to try and humanize ft, to mke its Incongruities and sudden tran sitkms reasonaole and possible to a mcderu audience. Thrill, which, according to stage traditions and theatrical biographies, constituted three fourt'hs of the equipment at t'he great Richards of an earlier day, is the quality in whicJi Mr.

Mansfield it least gifted. Subtlcity and capacity for light and shade are his in abundance and these he brought to bear cm t'he earlier ecer.es of the play. That preposterous woo ing of Anne over her husband's bier he went far to make reaiKmable by his gentleness and seeming passion. His scene with the lord mayor and citizens, uoo. had a grim and sardonic SiuTnor that was admirable.

It is net by such refino mor.ts oif acting and such adTnim'bie emphasis as Mr. Mansfield laid upon the Intellectual side of t'he character that an audience cf to day can be routed to mere thin a cursory interest in the play. If Richard is to be the potent stage attraction which it once the audience must 'be shaken out of itself and of its analytical tendencies by whirlwinds at passion in the scene with the ghosts and the great fight on sworth field, and those are not in Mams field'a reach. Hi; treatmunt of the dreams of Richard while tCie ghcets were speaking was vivid and fine, but when the awakening came he meuthed the soliloquy with old ed violence, but without producing any striking effect. Prob a'bly the modern audience is jt so easily roused by a show of fury as our grandfathers were, and quite certainly Mr.

Mansfield lacks the power of the elder Bomb, or of Edmund Kean. The fight was a jrood stiff virile flghit, in which the tip or one cf the swords flew off into the audience and the curtain fell upon a moment of excitement. Mr. MinsJield's Richard is interesting and admirable in many ways. It is not great and nothing short cif groatnes can resurrect this play from the limbo of oblivfon.

It can be spared better than most other Skaksperean dramafi' which ever see the stage at ail. The support was excellent, especially the Prince or Wales by Alice Pierce, a girl undoubted talent and rich promise, and the York of a clever child, Oladys Lxiird. Beatrice Cameron did as much as could be done with the ungrateful part of Anne and Henry Jenvett was a vigorous Norfolk. To night Mr. Mansfield will play "Beau Brunrmel," in whi'ch he is unique In his excellence.

People who saw Mrs. John Drew in "The Rivals" last spring may like to see her next week In the part of a middle aged widow of to day, in "The Sporting Duchess." This is the part which Agnes Booth played last season, but Mrs. Booth has recently retired in favor of her vigorous senior. Mrs. Drew must be somewhere close to 71) years old, but no ono who knows her has any doubt of her ability to g.ive the lively and amusing performance a woman of half her years.

A few years ago Jefferson gave a professional matinee at the Ainphion theater and one of the happiest and most enthusiastic auditors was Mrs. Drew, who sat leaning over the edge of a box, her face framed by a halo of the faces of her rjsy cheeked grandchildren. When she played in "The Rivals" here the company had given an arternoon performance in New York, but Mrs. Drew gave artistically the best performance of the evening. It is not long since she has played Iady Teazle and the Widow Green in "The Love Chase." Mrs.

Gilbert of Daly's company Is the only actress of nearly Mrs. Drew's age, but Mrs. Gilbert shows her years far mure than doer, the Philadelphia veteran. No one can have seen "Brian Born" without noticing the extremely graceful pair of ankles which pe ep out from under the short skirt of Am Summcrvillo. That feature of Miss performance was much talked about in New York during the le.ng run of the opera.

A Brooklyn man who war. over to sc the show came home nthuslasti" and organized a box parly New Yt ar's eve for the special purpose of seeing Miss Summerv. lie's ankles. The party included a politician, a lawyer and some other well known men ibout town, whrim tboir hnj. had wrought to a high pitch of expectancy.

Judge the disgust of that host when Malone camo oil. to find that it was not Miss i Sutntnerville. but. her understudy, Miss Helen Brackett, who plays Mona when Miss Sum mervine is in the cast. Mips Bracket w.

i selected because of her cose resemblance to I Miss Snmmerviilr. From tho bottom of the skirt up the likeness is startling, but from the skirt hem down. Miss Brackett looks more like the mountain maid whom Miss Summcr 1 ville used to play years ago. The thea'trleal companies fail, not one by one. like the roses of poetry, but two by two and sometimes by the half dozen.

Am iict ui who was to have come to the Montauk. has de elded that the American pubHc Is not artistic enough to appreciate his singular mixture of 'cello playing, long hair and the drama, and has dropped by the wayside.

Colonel Sinn has put in Van Blene's place "Sue," which was here earlier in the season and was much liked. Jcseph Ilaworth, who plays the husband in that piece, is soon to go to San Kranelsco to be leading man for Mndjeska in a brief farewell engagement, which that actress will play In the California cities. Modjeska's engagement does not begin until the and Mr. Ha worth Is exuootcd to nlav his old here. Maurice Barry' mere, who was to be at the JecUons wJiK were then made to his play ana is said to nave amen, led it in some re sp.

ers shire. May Haines, who has taken Marie Jansen's pari, is said to be an actress of much refinement and to avoid some of the effects of her predecessor. 1 "Trilby" will return next. wevk. this time I to the liijoii theater.

There is little to be said I about the play, but the title part will this time be interpreted by Edith Crane, a beauti ful girl, who has been the principal repre sentative tho part in Chicago, and who played it during the long tour of the Palmer company in Australia. The Svengall will be Charles Kent, tile Brooklyn actor, who has I played tho part here and did it quite as well I as Lackiye. Tho eastern district will get its first look I at Fadden" nest week at the Am phion, with Marie Hates as Mrs. Murphv. George Nash as Mr.

Mr. Gun ter was trvMtlv surprised at same of the will manifest tho same energy In the advocacy of this last reform which marked his action in regard to the "On the 13th it said: 'As a whole the appointments of the heads of the various departments of the city government which have been announced by the mayor are far above the average In point of personal fitness, and should be satisfactory. We feel Inclined to be thankful. If not entirely satisfied with the It also asserted that the charter and election law 'could not have been secured without the help of the Republicans in the legislature and, hence, the credit Is as much theirs as it Is ot the Tweed "A year later It was stated In the newspapers, on the authority of Judge Noah Davis, as derived from a well known member of the lobby, that the price paid to six leading Republican senators was to each $10,000 for the charter and $5,000 for the kindred bills of the session, and $5,000 for similar services next year." The Times, one year later, made ample reparation for the mistakes into which It had been led. It printed a long, detailed exposure of ring robberies, the publication of which stimulated tho people, under the leadership ot Mr.

Tilden, to the work of destroying the combination of thieves. "The 5th of May was a day destined to be famous In our municipal annals," says Mr. Tilden In his letter. "In the new court house the single meeting of the board of special audit was being held. Hale and Tweed and Connolly were making the order for the payment of $6,312,500, of which scarcely 10 per cent, in value was realized by the city.

Tweed got 24 per cent, and his agent. Woodward. the brother ot Sweeney, 10; Watson, 20 went to parties not yet named in the forms of legal proof; 33 went to the mechanics who furnished the bills, but their share had to suffer many abatements. (Garvey, Ingersoll, Keyser, Miller, Hall and others received a share.) "As the time, advanced the percentage of theft mixed In the bills grew. Moderate In 1869, they reached 66 per cent.

In 1870, and later 85 per cent. The aggregate of fraudulent bills after April 5, 1870, was in the rest Of that year about $12,250,000, and in 1874, $3,400, 000. Nearly fifteen millions and three quarters of fraudulent bills were the booty grasped on the 5th of April, 1870. Fourteen, perhaps fifteen, millions of it were sheer plunder." The subsequent prosecution of the rlngsters, the flight of Tweed, his recapture and death in prison, the escape of Connolly and others, the complete overthrow of the ring and the pass age of a new charter In 1873 are too well re membered to warrant recountal. It was be cause of a New York mayor's abuse of power that a provision was Inserted in the charter of 1873 making the mayor subject to removal by the governor, a provision, by the way, which does not appear In the charter of the City of Brooklyn.

Writing of this provision, In 1875, Mr. Tllden's words are as follows: "The charter of 1873 sought to show the de fect of the charter of 1870 In respect to remov al. It restored the power of the removal of tho mayor by the governor. It provided for the removal of heads of departments by the mayor, subject to the written approval of the governor, thus establishing an artificial check upon an artificial system, aiming to secure in dependence except in case of official misconduct on the part of the members of the body on which It conferred such extraordinary pow ers, and shrinking from converting an oi! garchlcal into a despotic system." In the draft charter of the greater New York the following section apppcars: "Sec. 8.

The mayor may be removed from office by the governor in the same manner as sheriffs, except that the governor may direct the inquiry provided by law to be conducted by the attorney general, and, after the charges have been received by the governor, he may, pending the investigation, suspend the mayor Tor a period not exceeding thirty days." MUL. EVANGELISTIC) MEETINGS. The Union Gatherings at Hanson Place M. E. Church Largely Attended.

Dr. Chapman's Coming. The union meetings which are being hold at tho Hanson placo M. E. church by that congro gatiou and tho Hanson placo Baptist, Baptist templo and tho Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church are arousing much interest.

Tho Rev. Dr. Banks had chargo of the meeting last night. There were many prayers and testimonies. The address of the evening was made by Dr.

Dixon and notwithstanding tho fact that he had addressed a large gathering at Cooper union in Now York at noon he spoke with great and convincing power. The meetings will continue all this week. Tho Rev. Cortland Myers will lead the meeting to night. These sorvicc.

TALKED OF IMMIGRATION. On Saturday evening, January 2. the Carlisle Debating society held its semi monthly debate, the subject being, "Should Immigration Be Limited." Tho affirmative side was taken by Longman and Kollmyer, and tho negative was supported by Snedlker and Piatt. It was a long debate and the Judge 3, after careful consideration, decided that the negative speakers had used the best Mondav afternoon at the C'itv Park branch of the First 1'resbvterinn church.
