WEVTEUa, rl.VVv PmQQ States senate by the bribery of two Democratic member of the legislature whk-h chose him the bribery of no more than two being necessary to secure his election the late Mr. Sewari. then a member of the senate, remarked that what sti-ork him most forcibly in this eve was tbe extreme eeoo-csny of the transaction, showing as it did OB the part of its author a Napoleonic genius for corruption. He bought no more members than were just enough to secure a bare majority, and then counted securely on his men. If such fantastic tricks as these are enongh to make angels weep they are more than enongh to make tbe people They explain why it is that Tweed, to the very pbariseeism of inagnincent viliainv, appears hardly less than an archangel ruined by the side of these squirming publicans, and thanks God that he ia not craven like other men of his craft, nor even as these congressmen.

And they explain why it is that the pitying tenderness with which the public might hare condoned these lapses, as being casual slips rather than premeditated larceny, has been turned into a consuming indignation in the progress of these investigations: and, finally, why ft is that there has now hen added to this sentiment a feeling of unutterable contempt at tbe worse thai reptile meanness by which these wrigglers in coa-gres ional mire have sought to hide their tracks cf slime.

Revel, tax eollecior in La BorneOe, France, was recently murdered in his own bed, three savage wounds having been inflicted on him with a hatchet.

Tenor twelve thousand francs were and the assassins are entirely unknown. A curious suit was begun in the superior court at Hartford, Conn. on Monday, by a man named Conway, to recover 3,000 for the death of a child who died in 1ST0 from the effects of a cold, taken while on one of the boats of the Hartford and 5ew York steamboat company. Conway claims that there were no accommodations in the cabin or elsewhere, and that the consequent exposure was the cause of the death of the child. -At Carlinvfile, 111.

a young divorced woman became engaged to a gentleman who, after overcoming S.any family objections to his pursuit of happiness, visited the clerk office for the purpose of procuring the documents required by law to make him the possessor of the treasure. While on his errand the quondam husband unexpectedly returned, confessed his faults, wa3 forgiven, faded affection was restored, the marriage ceremony was again performed, and the reunited couple left the village I "no cards" for the disappointed suitor. In the Ukraine (Russia) the women court more generally than the men. When a young woman falls in love with a man she is not in the least ashamed to go to his father's house and reveal her passion in the most tender and pathetic manner, and to promise tbe most submissive obedience if he will accept her as his wife. Should tbe insensible man pretend any excuse, she tells him she is resolved never to go out of tbe house till be gives his consent, and accordingly, taking up her lodgings, remains there.

If he still obstinately refuses ber, his caae becomes exceedingly distressing. The church is commonly on her side, and to turn her out would provoke her kindred to revenge her honor, so that be has no method left but to betake himself to Eight till he is otherwise disposed of.

Sometimes it was timid, fsomet mra craei, often wise, always vacillating. It seemed as if we not make up our inds whetber to eitcrminsle or civilize the riginal owners of the soil.

J.

Ccmstock, but speaking very decidedly to the effect that Mr. Comstock's charge of obscenity, Ac. eannot be" sustained in court. We have room only for this extract While I thank yon for the offer of retainer, and should regret not being able to offer my services as counsel where 1 think a legal wrong is being done, yet I cannot brtieve that in the only prosecution of which I have any knowledge, or to which I could attend if I had any time, to wit: The prosecution of yourself 'and sister for sending obscene btera-t lire through the mails, in the courts of the United States, there is the slightest need of my services or my counsel. I feel as certain as 1 an of any question, upon the constnic-tjon of the statute, that the action of the United States prosecuting attorney was baaed wholly upon a misconstruction and misconception of that statute, upon which, the newspapers inform me, the prosecution against you is baaed.

The statute as meant to cover, and does cover, sending that class of lithographs, prints, engravings, licentious books and other matters which are published bv bad men, for the jrtirpose of tlie corruption of youth, through the United States mail. It is a very proper statute, and well framed, and effects a good object, and the committee of the judiciary of the house are considering bow far they may extend it. But that it was intended to cover or prevent a description of facts alleged to have happened, or acts to have been done bv any individual manifestly not for this purpose, however improper or wrong any other purpose might have been in the mind of the sender as regards the person about whom the facts are set forth, the statute was never intended to reach. Without giving any opinion of the propriety or impropriety, the truth or falsehood of the matter set forth, or of the taste or merit of publishing it, in my judgment as a lawyer, the publication of which compiaint is made against you. was made under your responsibility for indictment for publishing a libel upon the persons implicated, subject to such defense, or want of it, from the truth or falsehood of the article, as you may set up.

I am led to this opinion -because, asuruintr the facts published by you to be exactly the form you state them, when we come to the guilt or innocence of their publication, that must wholly depend upon the motives for their publicity because the most offensive and most terrible facts, such as are dealt with frequently in court in many classes of cases, are published and distributed through the mails. They are not bbellous because they are true, and the motive for publishing them is a justifiable one, and the difficulty in bringing this class of publications under the statute against transmitting obscene literature through the mails is that the truth or falsity of the fact stated in the objected to writing cannot be tried, nor can tbe motives of the sender, ho wever justifiable or however proper, be put in evidence as a defense. Under this view, the suits brought in the U. S. court cannot be sustained and Gen.

Butler further intimates that in the suits for fit el Mrs. Woodhull will have a fair defense if the publication complained of is true and from good motives. i 4 CARPETS OIL CTLOTTTS. CARPETD.GS GREAT PJEDTTCTIOX throughout our en-tr establishment. Body Brussels at 75 Tapestry Brussels at 1.

His history is a romantic story of miccesKfa! crime. He was one fa" mob" of three who robbed a Boston bank of some years ago, and subsequently escapwfj The tnodue rpTvr4i consisted in hiring a place-next door to tbe bank, and penetrating the waQ, "going through the side of the safe, and thus securinsr tbe mow j.

Weils known by the detectives in this eftv and throughout the country as Charley Billiard. His picture figures as number IMA in the rogues' gallery at police headquarters, marked as a burglar aad safe-blower. In former years be was a petty iaroeay thief and shoplif ter. He was born in" one of tlie eastern states, and began a career of crime at an early age. He is thirty -two years of age, and his "smartness" almost proverbial with the police.

Billiard first assumed the name of Wells after the robbery of the Boston bank, going to Liverpool. There he married a pretty bar-maid of the hotel where be was stopping. He made a great display of '12, MX or 15, spent money freely, and purchased a quantity of diamond jewelry from a celebrated pawnbroker named A brains. Mrs. Buliard afterwards bad occasion to pledge a portion of the jewels, and, upon redeeming tbem, she alleged that the broker had retained a certain brooch.

A brains was tried on the charge, convicted and sent to prison for twelve months. Buliard then opened the celebrated establishment in Paris, as has been narrated. He can be identified, it said, as the man who hired the store next door to the bank. The crime does not come within the terms of the extradition treaty, and thus he eluded arrest. The fear of being placed under arrest has kept hi a abroad.

He has two wives in this city, one of whom, well known to the police, ia an expert shoplifter. This will probably prove interesting reading to the hundreds of high-bred American gentlemen who have partaken while abroad of the food, and drank the costly wines presided over by this low thief, and purchased with the proceeds of his Crimea. THE PEtSS. Edmund Yates has invested 0X in Chicago real estate a good corner lot. It is reported that C.

D. Brigham, late of the Pittsburg Commercial, is about to start a new Republican paper in Philadelphia. Several parties are workmg'npon a da-sign for a monument to Horace Greeley, and the probability is that nearly a dozen designs will be offered. Henry M. Stanley is visiting the schools of Washington, and making addresses to the children.

He is telling them how to find Livingstone in case they should ever feel a desire to hunt him. Paul Messant, the French journalist, who died the other day at Long Island City, married the daughter of Lola Montez, the Princess Editha Lolita, whom he had to escape from an UrsuKne convent. Sundry journalists, such as Parke Godwin, John Bigelow, Charles A. Dana, John Swinton, Major Bandy, Mr. Church (Galaxy), Robert Carter tApple ton's Journal), Oliver Dyer, and a few others, have organised the "Swedenborg club.

'J One thousand dollars annually is reported to be James Gordon Bennett's gift in gold medals to those firemen in Sew York who most distinguish themselves. Four of these were distributed last Friday night after a lecture delivered by Prof. Doremus at Belle -vue hospital. The press association of Georgia has made a formal protest to the legislature against the tax upon printing material. They say that newspaper publishers in that state have been compelled to undergo severe and constant labor, to receive but meager thanks, and a living which embraces only the necessaries of life.

PERSONAL- i Lord St. JLieoBard, the oldest member of Queen Victoria privy council, has counted ninety-one years of life's pilgrimage. His youngest colleague is "his royal highness Prince Arthur, aged twenty -two. Joseph H. Ford, who killed a man named Beach in St.

Louis in 1871, tried for murder, acquitted on the ground of insanity and sent to an insane asylum, has just been discharged from the asylum on a writ of habeas corpus and is now a free man. Mrs. Amanda Smith, described as "a pleasant-looking colored lady, wearing a brown bonnet, dress, and cape, is presiding over a protracted meeting now in progress at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church (colored) of Cincinnati. Her convorts already number over a dozen. Herr Bidow, who during the last fifty years has been counted one of the most 1 ai-e 11 ted and popular preachers of Berlin, has been excluded from the pulpit by the Brhn-denburg consistory for rationalistic tendencies in bis teachings.

He has appealed to the superior ecclesiastical court and has the popular sympathy. Drs. Scemish and Bruckner voted in his favor. One day last week, near Marysvfila, U. a thirty-pound wildcat robbed Miss Leon ore Methuen (aged sixteen) of a pet lamb, when that heroic young lady buckled on her little pistol and pursued the 'cruel monster, and with the assistance of a dog treed tbe animal in a live oak.

when she scientifically shot through the head. Who will say after this that California girls can shoot C'alcraft, the English hangman, as a robust, benevolent-looking old. man, with a slight stoop and a trifle shakey in his who wears a clerically cut black sua and long white hair and beard. His assistant, and probable successor, is a well-to-do Welshman of thirty-five, who has a morbid fondness for witnessing last They both are amateur gardeners when not professionally employed. There is a Miss Fay, a missionary, travelling in the West, who can take eare of herself under all circumstances.

The other day, while passing along a very narrow sidewalk in Chicago, she saw before her a great lout of a fellow who had "made a back" for leap-frog, and not wishing to step into the muddy street she made a ahort run and took the leap in regular boy style, landing some distance beyond the human obstruction. This done she moved gracefully away amid the applause of the spectators. There are nearly 1, 300 male, and jukt 101 female prisoners in Sing Sing prison. The penalty for using a postage staimp a second time, if discovered, is fifty dollanj fine. Old Texans dcylare that they never knew by actual experience what cold weathei was before this winter.

It is estimated that there are between and taffnto hunters in We stern Ksnnart. and they average -about fifteen per day. Bogus revenue officers are imposing upon the people of Jforth comparatively few of whom know how to read, aod are therefore easy dupes. The latest whim of fashion is inflated rubber hustles. It takes a young husband with week lungs half an hour to blojw his wife up to a fashionable rotundity.

The French census enumerates 31, 5Sfi more married men than married women. How is this! Do that number of French wives keep duplicate husbands, or are the ten widowers I A recreant husband in Paterson, X. J. has been compelled to pay four dollars weekly for his wife's support, the court having refused to recognise a divorce which he procured in Indiana. A hawk recently flew into the pantry of a gentleman's house at Sorth Star, Michigan, and fought the proprietor so hard that be had to summoa a physician to keep from bleeding to death.

Among the saddest episodes in the late storm in Minnesota, according to a western paper, was the freezing of the hands, nose, torehead, everything except the cheek, of a life assurance agent. A Maine woman ate four quarts of oysters at one sitting the other day, and woo loO by so doing, which, after deducting her 1 burial expenses, eighty-five dollars, left her fifteen dUJlars to commence the next world with. A girl of twelve years, residing in the vicinity of Car hn rifle," is supporting blind father and an invalid mother this wm ter by thoj.pinn wood. LJt year she sop-plied the wants of the family by raising potatoes, doing ail the work herself except ploughing the ground. A uerehact 'a daug bter at Columbus.

O. kicked off a young man's hat the other day because be sat down in her parlor with that artH-leof wearing gear upon bis head.

BiV.ill. jsMjrittrlw T. Thb Tribune says of "The TO of Mr. The Greeley will case has entered upon a way of settlement which reflects severe discredit upon every one concerned in it, except upon the orphan daughters of Mr. Greeley, his sole heirs by his last will These young ladies, who have been distressed bevond measure by the malignant and scandalous wrangling over the grave of their father, yesterday gave peremptory instructions to their counsel to make a full surrender of all their rights and interests in the matter, aad to allow the executors of a former will full discretion in the management of the affair.

The formal decision of the surrogate will be given next week, and what remains of Mr. Greeley 's little property will then be subject to the disposition of Mr. Storrs and Mr. Manning. The only excuse for this persistent ana apparent mexTihcable opposition to the final disposition which Mr.

Greeley made of his estate, was that be whs insane at the time of wrifcnz the will and for weeks previous ly- The Tribune proceeds to show that Mr. Greeley was perfectly sane at the time the will was made, and concludes aa follows: Unfortunately he did not destroy a former will made in 1871, in which two old friends, Messrs. Storrs and Manning, and a business associate, Mr. Sinclair, (who is now a bankrupt debtor to the estate), were named as executors. For reasons satisfactory to these gentlemen they concluded to contest the will.

Mr. Sir-clair subsequently withdrew. We wish to be understood as making no charges against the perfect integrity of Messrs. Storrs and Manning. They were doubtless influenced by no worse feeling than that of wounded self-esteem, though they finally persuaded themselves that their consciences required them to stand between Mr.

Greeley's daughters and his property, and their attitude to the orphans of their friend has been that of frank and sincere hostility. They have seemed convinced that the very fact of Mr. Greeley's making a wiil in which their names were not mentioned was prima facie evidence of insanity. A neighbor of Mr. ureeley, at cnappaqna, Isaac 1.

vt ilJiams, who seems from the papers in the hands of the temporary administrator to be a debtor to the estate, threw himself with especially energetic malice into the case, and has been throughout the moving spring of all the opposition to the last will. Even on yesterday, after the surrender was complete, this man made a speech full of chargea and insinuations so brutally malignant and recklessly untrue, that it seems impossible that a person in bis senses should have uttered it. The facts in favor of this will were plain and obvious. It was itaelf a better, more simple, more intelligible will than the other. It made a perfectly reasonable and logical disposition of the property.

It was written throughout the peaceful retirement ot Cbappaqrta, in his own handwriting, and signed with his own name, while Mr. Greeley was still the active editor of the Tribune, writing daily articles irreproachable in thought and in manner. It was executed in his last hours, when the delirium of fever was over and the ceace of approachiner dissolution was upon him. To offset these facts, the executors of the will of 1871 had no resource but the accumulation of gossip to prove the deep melancholy which clouded the last davs of tbe great journalist. Nothing was sacred from these mousing investigators.

The witnesses they called postitiveiy reveled in the sad details' of those hours of fever and sor row. As the scandalous and distressing scene went on. the family and friends of Mr. Greeley exhausted every expedient of com- promise ana persuasion. o-reeiey 11 aa already forestalled anv ungenerous insinu- ationa by eonveving to her sister half of the estate, and of offering to settle the claims of all legatees by the former will.

Nothing could soften the inflexible hostility of the executors. A last effort was made bv the editor of this paper, acting in behalf of the Misses Greeley, to arrive at some point of agreement which might obviate the ahameful spectacle of the long and oseless quarrel It was made in vain. The executors refused with a decision and premptness which showed how deeply their fellings of self-love were unconsciously inter ested. They and their attorney prepared a new batch of evidence, aeanng with the -meet intimate details of the long course cf domestic life, with tne sick room and death bed. At this point the fortitude of the orphans gave way.

The-v preferred to sacrifice their own interests and to suffer the last will of their father to go by the board, rather than to expose the sacred mvsteries of his agony to the gaze of the They withdrew from the contest, and the executors, who are honest aud honorable men, are to be congratulated upon the completeness of their triumph. If the surrogate decides in their favor next Monday, it is to be hoped that they will use their vic tory magnanimously. The Hfkai.p thus closes a king article enti tled "The Last Scene in Napoleon's Career- What Will Be His Plaee in HLrtory It is, he goes to his grave in an humble villaffA of wit. mrmrnnd hv Krif men who served his hazardous fortunes and loved him for his anuabla, pleasing, generous qualities; regretted by English statesmen, who fear that France will not always be ready with money and men to aid their schemes pitied by Germany, who would rather have seen him her friend than her foe; his house in exile and divided; his name a name of ill-omen in France, and esteemed by the world as a mysterious, uncertain character, which history can only fathom. To us he seems what M.

Guizot described him to a conespondei.t of the Herald in Paris a mind filled with commonplaces. Do him all the honor that should be paid to an amiable gentleman, and we see him a man who walked with feeble, uncertain steps the path mada by others, and, hen he was at last confronted by a danger aud duty of unusual character, he fell. His fall left nothing behind him. He was not great enough for the svstem bequeathed to him in his name and birth, and we, who believe in France and wish her well in all things, are profoundly convinced that France is too great for the Napoleonic imperial system, or, in fact, for any system which proposes to put upon the necks of a great people a yoke like that in which Tartar rulers have inclosed the necks of the patient, unresisting, inefficient, docile tribes of China.

W. ru ISc. MB. BltTAXT'S reftsal to be connected with the Greeley monument business has created a good deal of surprise and some slight indignation. The Springfield Republican says: It is a pity that the eommities used William Culien Bryant's name wiUiout his exphcit sanction; it is a much greater pitv that so old a man, and a man of whom all Americans are anxious to think well, should take such a time and occasion to show them a hitherto nnsusfieo-ted pettiness and malignity in his nature.

It is good to write hue poems it is better to have ordinary human leeluig. The Philadelphia Press speaks even more plainly: Saturday's Evening TeJesrraph speks with fearless candor of the cold and heartlesB card of TA illiam Culien Bryant of the New Fork Evening Post, denouncing the use of his name on the committee to raise funds for a monument to the memory of Horare Oreeley. There is nothing so pitiable as the malignity of an old man as he totters on his grave and one ench display as that of Mr. hryant will 'ce longer remembered fjn bis! sweetest poetry. Men will sav- that the author of Than -atopsU" i and the "Water Fowl" was a mere versifier, who wrote pleasing platitudes without heart, and who played only for erTeict.

How different tiie examples of the venerable Thurkiw Weed, Mr. Greeley 's bitterest foe during Kfa, and the septuagenarian, John A. Uix, who had just defeated the Greeley candidate for governor of few York, both of whom came for miles to pay heir respects to the deceased Tbe Brooklyn Union has a paragraph sufficiently disagreeable to be.approvinly copied by the Evening Post." Cor espos dents are endeavoring in some western i.ara to work un a defence of Mr Colfax, and we trust the facts in the premis- es may assist them to the establishment of a good case. A writer in the Chicago Inter-Ocean presents these suggestions, which are worthy of some consideration i The inference drawn from the fact that some of the Ames checks were made payable to B. is not even a circumstance against Colfax.

Ames savs one of these checks was given to Colfax, the other to Hchofield. Thus from his own testimony it is shown that the S. C. means nothing, and the coincidence of the same with Colfax's initials has no significance. Sow as to the deposit If Colfax had received the money, and desired to cover up the transaction las must be inferred if it assumed that the 1.

3uu were the proceeds of the checkt, would he not have been bright enough to have received the money in the tirst instance instead of a check? If he got the check why did he not deposit it There woidd have been no more impropriety in doing so than in depositing in a separate sum the proceeds of it The boys ail say, 'Schuyler ia a wily fellow, and if he is he never would have been so weak as merely to draw tiie money on he eheck, and then, on the same day he received it or the next day thereafter, deposit the exact amount of it in bank. When men make bajik deposits here a deposit check is used, which contains blanks for Gold. Currencv, If Colfax is not a very weak man he would have covered up his tracks better, if he had any to cover up. Exrr Pomxrgt, judging from a very prominent headline in aD the papers just now. is the full came of the unfortunate Kansas senator; but the Sew York Commercial Advertiser is mean enough to mention him as "Old the bald-headed child of das-tiny." It is quite the thing with most people to hit a man when he is down bnt there ought to be no excuse for using so formidable a club as that.

Mr. Pomeroy, it has already been stated, asks a suspension of public opinion which, by the way, is the most unfortunate thing that a man in difficulty can do. Interviewed by a reporter of the Chicago Inter-Ocean the other day, he gave some reasons why the public should postpone judgment in his case. We clip from the account fL Who is this man York, who surrendered ouo said to have been received from you I P. He is a Judas.

He was one of mv bitterest opponents from the hrst, and hLaiseif a candidate for the senatorship. He came around alter a while with some of his friends, and was warm in his support of me, but l.iiaUy threw otf the sheep's clothing and showed himself a woif. He cannot injure me, however, and his case wiil be settled hen tlie investigation is mada. When you return to Washington shall you make no explanation before the senate 1 P. I shall refrain from making a statement in detail, because, as I tola you, tbe cse is pending in the courts.

I shall take oti anion the senate, npon ny return, to make a denial of these trumped-up charges, and exonerate myself from guilt. We had the case in the court, but the third party, a man nsjiied Clark, a sort of go -between, ran away and it could not be immediately tried. I have a clear conscience, and that 's a good deal of satisfaction. 1 am confident I can show a clear record, and will come out all right before thii thing is ended. I dida get a vote after that 8jewh of York Ingails was fairlv elected, and I was shoved out en tirely.

My friends asked for an adjournment till I could be sent for aud defend 'myself against the chargea, but they-qoujdn't get it, and the plot was sprung upon US the people MhW flOW it wu OUW. 0 n. ia trie restta surprise yon P. Yes. I was quite ocfidant of election.

In briaf, there were aphis and Judases, and Mr. Pomeroy was so unfortunate, etc, etc Of Mr. Ingalls Mr. Pomeroy spoke as a per sonal friend and a straight PwepnbHean, who would take a good stand hi the senate; and be added, that he (Pomoroy) would keep his seat in the senate US the 4th of March, when he should go back to Kansjis and go uilo A xosf KAKSiuiX protest against woman se rape appears to the Hew York Times, in answer to Mrs. rttanton's recent article on the Anthoey case, reproduced in this paper.

It is signed "AWoium," and the writer's result-nee ts given as number VjX West Twenty-third street, He York so that, possibly, thoaae who desire to do so may eon-suit the lady herself. We give the entire protest, because it is well -written, and really the first good argument presented by a wemaa against the theories of the Stan-tons: May I ask you to give me space for a few wo (tit 1 have this morning read Mrs. E.

The Times thus commences an article entitled History According to Mr. We have had the pleasure of receiving from Samuel J. Tilden seventeen long shps of printed matter, measuring about wenty-six ieet eigns menes 111 ieugi.ii, or upwara 01 eight yards and a half. It is like the sea serpent in its huge proportions. Irjbroke down the very letter-box in which it was placed, and we have been obliged to get a special desk fitted up to accommodate it.

This interesting document is supposed to be a reply to some recent references to Mr. Til-' den which bave appeared in the columns of the Times; end it is designed to prove that Mr. Tilden had everything to do with the exposure and overthrow of the Tammany rag, and the Tunes nothing. So be it--whatisthe good of arguing about ft? Let Mr. Tilden have his own way.

It does not appear to us to be worth while to print nearly nine yards of Mr. Tilden's exquisite composition, for the purpose of convincing the peblic that Mr. Tuden slew Tammany. We will make a fair bargain with him we will concede all the credit to him, if he can get the public to concede it also. We will consent to have it appear that we bad nothing whatever to do with the contest.

We decline to have any controversy with Mr. Tilden upon this sub ject, because neither of us can decide it. The pubic alone can be the judges. If they can recollect anything that Mr. Tilden did toward the exposure of Tweed and his gang, between September, 187Q, and July, when the hardest part of the fight was being waged, they wiil doubtless give him credit for it.

In an article intitled The Latest Mare's Vast, the Times says Only two journals in New York have had the haniihood to openly defend the verdict of the Tweed jury. The one is the most disreputable sheet published in the city the other is the New ork Tribune, which seems determined to emulate the infamous reputation of its obscure contemporary. Perhaps the most charitable way to deal with the recent freaks of the present management of the Tribune would be to assume that they are out of their senses. We suppose they would be the first to repudiate any such apol-ofry for a lenea of highly disg raoerul articles. must, therefore, eoriciiide thut they have deliberately taken aides with corruption, and are trying, with wilful and premeditated design, to secure the defeat of public justice, for the benefit of one ot the greatest criminals of modern times.

During the trial, they labored to preparr the public mind for a erdict favorable to Tweed, bv throwing discredit on the prosecution. The indictment was loose where, it was not stated gross errors had been committed how, it was not explained. Then, toward the close of the trial, the judge's ruling was held to be inexorable, and it was hinted, under cover of some faint praise, that his definition of the meaning of tbe word "audit" was a very extraordinary one, and quite new in the annals of jurisprudence. Of course, when the want of agreement was announoed, the Tribune was not surprised it had -all along "foreshadowed" it "worked for it" would have been a better phrase and the pubhc was invited to believe that Tweed would never be convicted while his prosecution remained in its present hands. Of course, this was highly consoling for Tweed, ana still more so to th aide counsel whose very fat fees depend on their ability to persuade the boss thief of the ring that fie has only to fight the people long enough to get off.

It is morally certain that 1 weed wifi never be convicted at alb if the present bne of prosecution fails. Jfobody knows this better than the Tribune, and hence it can afford serve its client by professing great solicitude for his conviction, while industriously and maliciously trying to discredit the instruments through whom that conviction must be effective. Yesterday the paper founded by Horace Greeley fairlv outdid itaelf in this line. It asked its readers to believe that Taylor, Brennan and Leo the fast friends and allies of Tweed are supremely anxious to secure his conviction. In the sense that the Tribune is, they doubtless are, and they have labored for it as earnestly as their journalistic confederate.

We are asked, further, to believe that Senator O'Brien, to whom it is prima-rilv due that Tweed is on trial at all, and the 'custom house organisation, which is the Tribune's name for the faepubHoan party of New York, are in a conspiracy to secure tba. escape of the great plunderer of the treasury. "Tweed baa escaped and is to escape, we are tuld, in return for his "support uric) ot the national state and city tickets of the Republican party last fail. The parties to this bargain, be it noted, are Senator O'Brien and the rtepuohcan managers in this city. Now, it is notorious that during the late campaign Tweed, personally, was simply a cipher in the struggle, that his declared adhesion would have defeated any cause, and that any value be could possible have had.

Genet, 'Jim Irving, and the whole disreputable gang in whom the fall of their patron swindler left any political vitality whatever. As for Senator O'Brien, the Tribune wasted all its arts of bullying and coaxing to bring him over to its aide, and raved about the "treachery of this same custom-house organisation" in taking very effectual measures to secure his defeat. Tub Woklh, in an article entitled "The Pityof It, "says: We hear it said on every hand that if, at the tint intimation of this scandal, the par-tie really involved in it had made a clean breast of ail their transactions with Oakes Ames, it is more than probable that most of uiem would nave been Held by a generous public to possess a force at reputation (factitious as it now appears) sufficient to shield them frvni the public charge of having consciously dabbled in the muddy waters of corruption.

Tex abbjest JTew York and the removal from that place of Peter Cur ley, supposed to be one of the Waterford bank robbers, was accomplished only after extreme difficulty. The Troy detectives who made the arrest affirm that the police of New York have, for some reason, a great deal of sympathy for Curley; that they endeavored to effect his escape after his arrest, one policeman making a bold push to that end; and that Superintendent Kelso sought to embarrass them in every way in their proceedings against Curley. The arrest created much excitement among the gambling fraternity, of which Curley is a prominent member, and the friends of the prisoner made many threats. If I had given the word, said Curley to officer Squire after his arrival in Troy, "yon would have been killed by the crowd.

It was out of friendship for you that I did not do it. Curley is believed to be one of the men arrested at Hudson, who secured their freedom by bribing the officer. He is a notorious gambler, well-known in Troy and Se York, and.claiming the former place as his borne. It is believed that he has been engaged in other robberies than the one at Waterford, and there will be an earnest effort to convict him. A gentleman identified with the prosecution remarked to an editor of the Times, Monday morning We've got lots of evidence showing that Curley was one of the two men arrested at Hudson.

We cs prove this 1 some Troy men who saw the arrest, and by several railroad men. We do not intend to offer half our evidence at the examination, but just enough to satisfy the justice. These Troy men do nut want to be sworn they are afraid that they will be killed by Curley's friends. The other witnesses are scattered about and probably will give their testimony without hesitation. We don 1 1 intend to call them aD, because that would show the other side of our evidence.

They would buy up some of these witnesses, it, with our money, too. We won't take risks. We ve got this man, sure, and we intend to hold him. Brandon, the man arrested some weeks since, and now in Waterford jail, still asserts that he is innocent but it is said that he remarked a few days since, "If I go to prison I won't go alone." The feeling against Curley in Waterford and Troy is said to be iutence. The Troy Press of Tuesday Curley.

it is believed, is in tight fix. He is, asiour citizens well know, not any too good for toe offence of which he is eharged. He was me of the persons suspected of committing the great yuckenbush burglary a few 5 tars ago, and it is further believed he was connected with the Roy safe burglary at Westi Troy. He is a professional gambler and burglar. He is not believed to be the brains" ot the Waterford burglary.

This much is known On the mormug after the burglary three men, one of whoiii was Curley, went down the river and were intercepted at Hudson, as already reported in the Press. Curley was one of the men the Hudson officers were telegraphed to arrest. One of the two others with him had a black satchel; thu contained the stolen bonds from the Waterford bank. hether Best and Dyer, the Hudson officers, ho allowed Curley and his comrades to escape, will identify him or not. there is evidence aside from this to prove that he was one cf the three suspicious men.

It is saia that the Hudson omcers received foot) from Cur'ey and his comrade for allowing them to escape. Developments of the utmost impor-taree bave been made, and the weight of them all bear heavily, it is said, agunst Curley. A rumor connects the New York brok-' er, who has been negotiating the bonds, with oue of the ofhcersof the Waterford bank. Of the truth i this wa know nothing. Another rumor this morning said that a burglar from the West, known as "Omaha Dick," had been arretted with Curley at New York, but escaped from the Troy ottioer.

Wells, it is said, was formerly a Baptist minister in Massachusetts, but fell from grace shortly after leaving that state. Finally, we learn from an article in the New York Commercial Advertiser, "he turned up in Paris aad opened a faro bank and roulette table in the Rue Pen-sier, thereby enticing many young Americana to undertake the perils of gaming.

He succeeded so well that he was enabled, subsequently, to open an exten sive and gorgeously furnished establishment at number Kue rtcribe, ostensibly as an meriea restaurant and drinking -saloon, but really as a gambling hell.
