th Citj. The publication in yesterday's journals of tbo Broadway Bank diecloanres created tbe wildest excitement in the City. Tbe plundered tax-pay era at last aaw spread before tbem tbe overwhelming evidence that their money bad been shared toy thieves. The Times bae all along told tbem that Tweed -and bia sang were robbers, and yesterday it proved it. Tbe damning evidence against Tweed tbe ringleader of tbe band, wm nowhere disputed, and load were the de mands that went up for tbe speedy arrest and punmhment of the wrong -doers.

Yesterday' morning application Was made to Judge Lkarxed, at the Chambers of the Supreme Court, in Albany, for an order ef arrest against William M. Twxep, Andrew J. Garvey, James II. Lngerboll and.EL- bert A. Woodward.

The motion was found ed upon tbe affidavit of Samuel J. Tildes, already published, and upon a complaint setting forth the fraudulent character of tbe claims audited by the Board of Audit, claims cloarly fictitious, and the fact, shown by tbe investigation of the liroadwoy. Hank ao conntv tbat: these four men bad pocketed the money. "The complaint demands judg ment against tbe defendants for over six millions of dollars, Judge Learned gianted the order of ar rest, holding each thif to bail in the ram of tUKKMKti. 1 Today Tweed will be arrested.

The others have skulked away, leaving but one to satisfy an outraged people's clamoring for their rights, and that one. the worst all, will lie taken by a Deputy Sheriff today. on tbe proven charge of downright stealing. Tweed remained at the Department of Public Works daring the greater part of the Delegations from political associations and delegations of roughs swarmed about tbe corridors and besieged the door leading to tbe private officer But few were admitted, and the rest remained in the damp, dingy, chilly hall-way, tbat reeked with unsavory odors, and there whiled away tbe heavy time with objurgations' and curses against tbe men who threaten the downfall of their chief. White-coated roughs, ornamented with slouched hats, lounged around the staircases, apparently waiting onlr for' orders.

Anxious men hurried in and out, or stood earnestly conversing in half-whispers upon the troubles that threatened their master. A few and incredulity when the subject of arrest was broached, while others, too accustomed to it to regard it as a disaster, smiled ghastly smiles ef acorn. "What, arrest our Boss exclaimed of the ushers attached to the Department. You don't know him and he laughed at tbe idea.

For a long time tbey were closeted together patching and splintering up a defense, trying to one tbat bore even the appearance of soundness. When the information that the Attorney-General had empowered able and upright men to represent him in this City was given oat, Tweed' immediately' sought and concluded to "protest" against the action as But the mine bae been sprung too quickly for 'him, and be is now reduced to the necessity oi defending himself against the people he baa so long oppressed.

The figures published in the Times yesterday were the cause of considerable conversation around the Hall yesterday; morning. The general conclusion arrived at was that Wm.

M. Tweed and A. Woodward bad been doing a large and very profitable business, and that the robberies of the City Treasury bad at last been brought home to the guilty parties, or, at any rate, to some of them. The Mayor was invisible yesterday, arriving latd at his office, and lea vine: after reading his letters. There was some tslk.
