It will I seon from the healing of
to-daj-3 paper tli.it we Lave sold a
lu!f interest in tho Herald estaii.'h
raent to Hon. Geo. L. Seybok. The
reasons for disposingof a half interest in
the oflire nnl business are that the bu-i
nesH of the IIkhald has assuaicd such
proportions that no one man can attend
to it properly and at the same time give
(sufficient attention to the editorial de
partment, and that no man can bo em
ployed to attend to business so we'l a3
one who owns an interest in it.
Seyholt is too well known both in the
county and in the State to need any in
troduction to the readers of the Herald.
He is well known as an active bufinass
man, a sound and reliable I'epublican,
and a gentleman who?e connection with
the Herald will be to the advantage of
every reader. We can a.ure our read
ers and patrons that under the new firm
the business and usefulness of t'ie paper
will be largely increased, as both proprie
tors will devote their entire time and en
ergies to making the Herald the lead
ing paper of the State.
A "PUHl'D nEFCSDER" OF
ijiustia.i SOIlLtJIES."
A few days since we called the atten
lion of the Omaha Herald to the doings
if its "fiicnJs, the Apache Indians," as
rt'i orted by telegraph. The following is
a part of the Herald's reply :
" Tho flaunted fling that we arc a
friend to the dying race whoso wrongs,
mflered at the hand of the agents of
the (juvernnient of the United States,
constitute tlie blacked crimes of Ameri
can history, has no tirrors for this pa
per. It is proud to be known as tho de
ieadrr of th.-se r.oV.e red men. Cheap
abuse of a people win have no power to
t.ns-.ver back may aiira.-e the thoughtless,
and gtatil'y the ua'ural depravity of
t li si who indulge in it, but there is
neither sense, or ju5tiie in it. lather
JJeStnet, t he eminent Catholic Missiona
ry among the blackfcct, is authority for
Giying that no hotter people, or Christ-,
iatis, ever lived on earth than are those
untutored red men, save only in a few
barbarous practices which their religious
BUper.-tition.s render it impossible t9 con
trol. - If we could know that Ked Cloud
mid the Sioux were as good friends to us
na we are to them, there is no people on
the round earth, be tliey barbarous, civi
lized or cnlightend, whom we would be
more delighted to visit, or Ferve in any
way that might do them good"
Now, in not our friend of the Herald
shooting a little wild in the above?
I'oes he really mean what ho say?, or
Joes he ouly eay it because we kave
chanced to goad him a trifle? Is the
Jlemll really "proud to be known as
the defender of these uubte red men?"
Such balderdash would do, probably,
down among the people whom the Her
ald is pleased to call, iu i derisive man
ner, "puritans;" but it will not have
the desired effect wet?t of the Mi.-souii
rivr, where people general')- are well
v posted about the nMeiuxs of this Herald
nubility. We have stubborn facts to
deal with here, and uo "high morality"
dodrc will do. We doubt not in fact
we are convinced that iu very many in
Mancos, the Indians have been imposed
upon by unscrupulous white men. and
have been mistreated aud swindled, for
nil of which the said white nieu (wheth
er th?y belonged to the "white man's
parly" or not) should have been, and
should be, made to ifler for their acts.
We have no sympathy for this class of
men, ho more than our cotcmporary has
but that doe not make saints or "noble
men" of these villainous parages. Nei
ther does the fact that Father leSmet
sinai Jers them the "best Christians on
earth" make them so. We think, with
most men who hare come in coutact
with thee Indians, that tho "few barba
rous practices" are euouirh to make the I
blood of any civilieed man ran cold to
contemplate. If the Herald will confine
its efforte to the punishment of those
whites who are to blame, instead of defend
ing these Indians who see no wrong in
murdering and then mutilating the corpse
of white men and women, we will sec
oiij its efforts. But we must think the
Jh'rald Doctor is afraid of his own medi
cine when he says: "If we could know
that lied Closd " would not Fcalp us (or
words to that t fleet) we would be plea-cd
Vt visit him and his people. Suppose
you take along a file of the Omaha Her
ald, and show Mr. uobleman Ited Cloud
how friendly you are. Would not his
"noble" nature at once cause him to
embrace you? To be sure, he might
take a fancy to your ;calp lock, and we
really do not blamo you for not wishing
to risk yourself in his reach until you
have some assurance of his good be
havior say in the way of a goodly pile
of Uncle Sam's soldiers. When you
press the matter home. Dr., we are all
alike w all prefer to be at a .afe dis
tance from those "Christian noblemen,"
and we are more than pleased to see that
even you are willing to admit this fact,
while in the same moment you de
nominate thejti as "noble" men and "the
best Christians on earth."
One of the fad results ef th confla
gration is the lunacy of Co'. Niles, for
mr!y A ljudant (leneral under Gover
nor Yates. On Thursday he was taken
to the uew Bridewell a raving maniac.
The editor of the New York Commer
cial says he read it just forty seven times
iu forty-eight hours that "Chicago will
arise like the l'hoenix from the ashes."
If any writer uses the phrase again the
editor hopes "the fire-proof bird wiil
drop a few hot cinders on the head of
the man who does it."
Barbers make friends, but scrape more
acquaintances.
By the Chicago fire the currency will
be contracted one million the amount

Salt Lake advices state that there is
no ord yet fretM tho wandering Irig
ham, although a St. George letter was
published in the Herald. This is con
sidered very remarkable, as heretofore
every movement of Brigham's has been
carefully noted when he was absent from
the city. The lT. S. District Court and
Grand Jury were to assemble yesterday,
and much interest was manifested by the
people. Ilosea Stout, one of the par

the Supremo Court of the U. S. for his

Charle3 O'Connor, the attorney em
ployed to prosecute Tweed and the
Tammany rirsjr, paid last Saturday that:
"Tweed is taking all the preliminary
tages men take when they seek to
elude justice by flight to a foreign land.
The police would not be very active in
arresting him even now, if the committee
of seventy could give them power, aud
would not help us by informing us of
his movements."
O'Connor believes Tweed will certainly
fly, and as there are many impediments
in his way, he don't think the only
prominent criminal would qnit the coun
try; but wherever they go in Europe he
will find they cannot remain with impu
nity. Ho will be followed wherever the
law can follow.
It is said that Field's seat in the As

of fraud in the elections, and that Hora

The German steamer, Franklin, has

T3E I.OIISY1I.I.E POTTEItV.
We made mention, yesterday, of the
valuable properties of the Louisville
Clay. We find the following in rela
tion to it in the Omaha Republican :
We referred yesterday to some miner
als now on exhibition at I 'rot', llacfl'els,
13'J Farnham street. These minerals
are from the farm of J. T. A. Hoover,
of Louisville Station, on the B. & si
ll. 11., Cass county, Nebraska, about
thirty railes from Omaha, aud they are
of such importance as to be worthy of
more than a passing notice. Mr. J. M.
Goodwin, of this city, has been experi
menting with the clay, or "kaolin," for
the past, three mouths.
Samples were sent ea?t and there
made into fine specimens of pottery and
brick. The bricks are of a cream color,
and possess a remarkable degree of com
pactness and tenacity. Some of the
bricks have been submitted to a degree
of heat that commenced to melt an
Eastern tiro brick of the best m;:kc,
place ! by their side, and yet they showed
no efieetsof the fiery ordeal. Mr. Good
win lias secured the control of thisbed
of clay for a term of years-, and we hope
he will meet with a ready response to
his efforts to start the manufacture oi
pottery and fire bricks.
We learn that he lias placed samples
of the clay and articles of its manufac
ture, in the hands of the Committee on
l'uttcry, and they wiil make a report
upon it, and exhibit specimens at the
meeting this evening in the Board of
Trade llooms. This c'ay can be made
into thousands of articles, now in do
luand at the West, and as the demand is
rapidly increasing, we look upon this as
a very important enterprise.

It has long been thought that nugets
of gold increased in size while lying in
the dirt in which they are found. Mr.
C. Wilkinson has iately announced to the
lloyal Society of Victoria that gold,
when placed in a solution of chloride of
gold, in contact with organic matter, de
termines the deposit of liberated gold
upon itself. Mr. Skey, of the New

communicated a series of experiments,
giving similar results to the Wellington
Philosophical Society.

A bank is said to be the most likely
building to catch cold in, because there
are so many drafts in it ; and the rea

A Chicago paper makes this simile :
"When a brave buck is hard hurt upon
the plains, and lies wounded almost to
the death, from every quarter of the
heavens can be seen coming specks that
grow with time into full-winged vultures.
That is Chicago position, and the vul

greed as little truth, and as great offense
to the nostrils as their feathered cous

anil (tie Republican Country.
HEsrEBiA, Nov. Gth, 1S71.
Dear Herald : We have just re
turned from the West, and according to
promise in our last letter, hasten to in
form your readers of the "fights seen."
Our party consisted of one "schooner,"
manned by Hon. C. D. Warner, lied
Bank, N. J., L. 11 Warner and Sons,
of Hesperia, and the Heal Brothers, of
Fillmore county, who rolled up along side
the first niht out, with tw "schoon
ers." We left the "valley of the Blue" Oc
tober 10th; dined at Sutton, (formerly
School Creek). Sutton has six stores,
po:it-olfice, twelve dwellings, lumber
yard, several mechanics' shops, depot,
&;.', "&cM where six mouths ago there
was only one "dug-?ut." You see it is
on the B. & M. Ilailroad, and "that's
what's the matter." I suppos "you
know how it is yourself." We anchored
the first night on a rich, rolling prairie,
section 33, town 8, range 7 west. The
night, like the surrounding country, was
exceedingly beautiful.
Eight a. ., 17th. Passed a little
town delightfully situated on section 12,
town 7, range 'J west. This town is yet
iu its infancy, not having been christened ;
but bids fair to become a plac5 of con
siderable note. At 12 M. we made Ad
ams center, town 7-range 11 west. Here
we found S houses, f stores, a school in
progress, and post-office which receives
mail via Grand Island. Mr. Jacobson
hs a large and well selected assortment
of goods on hand which he is selling at
Tery low prices. Vacant lands are plen
ty and of superior quality near this
thriving little town. Shortly after leav
ing Adams Center we came to the bluffs
on the south side of Platte river. Oh !
that I could describe the scenery through
which we pa-sed while descending iuto
the Platte valley. These bluffs, like
mountains, piled on mountains, stand as
they have stood for ages past, in silent,
solemu grandeur ; around their peaks
the winds and tempests howl in vain.
They stand in all their wild, native sub
limity, us in ages pa.-t, the home of the
buffalo, antelope, elk and doer, which
fatten upon the rich, luxuriant native
grasses. At the foot of these bluffs are
spread out the bottom lauds, nearly five
miles in width, and as far as the eye can
reach east and west; and just beyond,
the Platte, mirroring on her placid, sil
very bosom, the gigantic trees whose fo
liage sparkle in the sun aud dance in the
breeze, flows on in silent majesty to el 1
ocean; and just beyond the Platte roll
up the azure hills and broad prairies ol"
the "north side," adding. beauty and
enchantment to the scene. In the midst
of this beautiful landscape stands the
village of Lowell, on section 24, town 8,
range 13, ten miles east of Ft. Kearney,
and five miles from the U. P. It. It.
Lowell has a large, commodious hotel,
stores, restaurant, and several dwellings.
The B. M. passes a few rods south of
the hotel. At Lowtdl we dined on wild
goose, prepared by one of the best lady
ooks west of "Old Muddy." At table
wa had the coffee poured and the flies
brushed away by one of Nebraska's fair
est flowers, whose musical voice and
sweet face added test to tho rich enter
tainment. From Lowell we pass up the valley to
Ft. Kearney. Here we heard that Mr.
Lo had quit "lifting hair," and Kear
ney had "played out." A feeling of
sadness came over us os wc looked upon
tho dilapidated buildings, the half dozen
red faced, ragged teamsters, the deserted
quarters, the long rows of Government
wagons, and the score of poor, racca
bone mules. Ft. Kearney's glory has
faded ! Everything about the place
looks sad except the flag-staff. Around
this a halo of glory shone ; upon its top
seemed to perch the angel of liberty.
Two miles west of Kearney we stopped
and passed an hour with an old friend
and co-worker, Moses Sydenham, editor
of the Western Sdir. Mr. Sydenham
has a rich and beautifully located farm.
He runs a large store and attends to the
post-office. Wc found his fruit delicious,
and his pajer entertaining and instruct
ive. Mr. Sydenham is doing a good
work for Nebraska. There are many
good claims near his, which he is ready
and anxious to show to settlers.
At 4 p. m. we left Mr. Sydenham's
for a forty mile drive across the country,
to Turkey creek, where we arrived at 12
M., the 19th. The country from Kear
ney to section 21, tcwa 2, range 19 west,
is a rich, rolling prairc, and all vacant,
for the pre-emptors and homesteaders.
Here thousands of cattle could be grown
and fattened at $10 per head. The buf
falo and blue grass is plentiful, luxuri
ant and green the year round. Horses
and cattle refuse well made hay if they
can get to the grass in winter.
At Turkey creek we fell in with Mr.
Jareft D. Castley and John Arnold,
who had taken daims on section 33,
tosvn 4, range 23 west. Messrs. Castley
and Arnold we found to be gentlemen in
every sense of the word. We tarried
five days with them agreeably. They
"showed us about town" at Napoleon,
New Erie, Arrapahoe and of the coun
try as far as Deer creek, town 4
range 25 west, where we' found Benj.
Burton and Dick. Dire in their "ranch,"
ready to entertain land or buffalo hunt
ers. (Ben. and Dick, keep a little len
zlne, jut fur snake bites and j.ostcd feet,
you know).
In and about "Itapaho" we just natur
1 '7 T
ae bnSaloe?, uUte' r-o vA elk
"partictfa- f.t-." We loaded our three
teams the firt day, then just for fun,
turned to and helped a lot of others
load up who had light guns and bad luck.
Wc found the buffaloes fat, sleek and
saucy. We had "right smart" offun
seeing a green Dutchman peck away at
an "old bull ' with a 3-inch single bane
pistol. It was charge bull charge Dutch
man, for two mortal hours, when the
bull caqo off second best. The Dutch
tuarTswore he would "ki'Is no any more
bu"f! S3 long I live, y dam, ain't it."
Northwest of "Itapaho" wc saw a
small rquad of mounted Indians, lay out
a dozen buffaloes in a neat and hunter
like manner, which pleased us "muchly."
The act was performed for the especial
benefit of our party. It took about
three minutes. When over, wc gave
the "reds" three cheers, aud departed
with our hair all O. K.
Arrapahoe is a "right smart" little
settlement. In one cabin we found a
brave little woman with several small
children, whose husband had t;gonc to
the settlement" for a winter's stock of
provi-ions, &e. This bravo littlo soul
can handle her rifle or revolver as nim
bly and surely as the best hunter on the
Republican God bless her! Il does
one's soul good lo meet with such brave
spirits on the frontier. One such noble
little woman will do more to settle and
develop Nebraska thau tea thousand
city belles, who scream and faint at the
sight of a mouse. Again wo say, God
bless our pioneer women ! and we be
lieve, in this, we express the seutimcnts
of every man iu our State.
From Arrapahoe we journeyed east to
New Erie, a thriving little town on West
Turkey creek, Theodore Phiilips, post
master ; then on to Alma City, another
new but enterprising town, It. M. Miller,
postmaster. Still onward we passed Re
publican City, Waterloo and lied Cloud.
All along our journey the land is rich
and productive. Timber, pure water",
brick clay and building stone are plenty.
The settlements are all new, yet im
provements are numerous. The settlers
are all wide-awake, energetic, go-ahead
class of people, and a more generous,
whole-souled people are seldom found.
We only found one "cuss" on the whole
trip out and back ; we found him to be a
hog, without one particle of soul in his
filthy carcass. The two first letters of
his name are Tom Sheflcr. Ilis parents
were poor, and furnished him with a giz
zard imtead.of a soul. lie owns the
timber for a mile each side of the cross
ing, on Deep creek. Hero about twenty
teams Were halted trying to get consent
of the "cuss" to cut timber and build a
bridge. Tom said he would build the
bridge and the county pay for it. "Bul
ly for the county." At this crossing,
we met our old friend, Frank. Buagion.
returning from a successful hunt. Frank,
helped ua out of the ditch and we left
for a colder climate, lest we should be
called upon as a witness in a case of as
sault aud tan.
Persons occupying any one standpoint
can form no idea of tho rapidity with
which our State is settling up. At the
present rate, in three jears, there will
not bo a vacant section of laud in Ne
braska. Persons intending to come to
this State must "get up and dust" oi
thoy will be left out iu the cold.
We have often been told that the
country west of range 10 weat is nearly
worthless. This we found to be l'onc
grand Miss-take.' ' The yield of corn,
potatoes, &c., the present season, was as
good as in any other part of Nebraska.
Wc liked the appearance of the country
along the Republican valley, as well as
in the valley of the Blue or any other
locality in the eastern part of the State.
Here are plenty of good claims with
water, timber, stone, &c. ; but as in all
other localities, "the firat come the first
served." West of range 22 west buffa
lo, elk, deer and antelope are plenty
the year round What few Indians
there are, are perfectly friendly no fear
need be felt where women and children
live alone, secure from depredations.
Yours, AllAZ.

Some European governments seem
very much at a loss to know what to do
with the Jews. In Algeria, their
liberties are to be restricted that their
wealth amp, progress may not effend the
idle and quarrelsome native populative.
In Prussia, where they have been allowed
some shiv of liberty since 1847, efforts
are beir.j tuade to ameliorate their con
dition stiil further. Prominent Jews
have been invited to take part in this
new movement. Before 18G1 Jews were
forbidden to live in Central Russia, nor
were they allowed to enter Russian ter
ritory without a special permit. Since
181 all Russia has been open to them,
and no .regulation of their position and
privileges seem to be difficult. It is very
strange that the expedient of letting
people of every shade of religious be
lief live together'without interference
has neveraggested itself to the Rus
sian goternment.

and Mojavcs, ten miles from the former
place. The driver Johu Letz, otherwise
Dutch John, and two passengers with
him on the box, were killed at the first
fire. Inside were five passengers, three
of whom were killed. William Kruger

was made by robbers instead of Iudians.
San Francisco, Nov. 14.
Loring, murdered, with others, in an

and journalist, and was on his way east,
intending to lecture on Arizonia and ex

noon by U. S. Marshal Patrick for the
murder of Bennett, whose body was
found near this city about a week ago,
and who was reported to have been
killed while in the act of stealing horses.
It is said now, and generally believed,
that Bennett was shot in cold blood, on
account of a woman.

The Salt Lake Herald to-day, in a
leading editorial, denies the statement
that polygamy was not a part of the
Moiuion faith prior to the passage of
the p.ct of the Territorial Legislature of
March Cth, 1S52. ' It asserts that plural
marriage was practiced long before that
period by the Mormons, and that there
by four out of the thirty nine of that
Legislature were practical polygamists,
believed in the doctrine. This argument
is, that polygamy was practiced, but the
Herald gives no evidence that it was ap
proved or authorized by the Mormon
Church previous to August 29th, 1852.
Salt Iike, Nov. 14.
Nothing of interest occurred in court
to-dy. The grand jury convened at an
early hour and retired for business in
charge of the marshal.
It is said that a number of well known
citizens, polygami.-ts, are making ar
rangements to send away their plural
wives, should the descisons in the forth
coming trials for lascivious cohabitation
co against the defendants. Nobody be
lieves that any of tlie well to do Mormons
think of abandoning their present homes
and their property because of the enforce
ment of the law against polygamy.
The Mormons claim carneslyto believe
that their plural wife doctrine is of God,
but many of them begin to express grave

ACnlrs In Sew fork.
New York, Nov. 9th.
Tweed was interviewed yesterday, and
said he was not prepared to answer any
questions in regard to his reported res
ignation, but it is pretty certain that the
report is untrue. Tweed faid that the
great success of the reform party took
him completely by surprise, lie was to
tally unprepared for it. Tweed's coun
sel stated, yesterday, he would hurry
tho trial of the charges, if the reform
committee had no reason cr wish to de
lay. The Tribune says Tweed has been rap
idly transfering property to other hands.
A few days ago he sold another piece of
valuable property, which cost $250,l.00
to his son. He has also been selling
stock in various railway aud other com
panies, in most iustances at a sacrifice.
He no longer figures as Director of the
Third Avenue railway. His name was
dropped for the reason that he has lately
sold all his stock in that line. He held
at vhe time Mr. O Conner began the suit
against him, seven hundred shares in
the Metropolitan Ga3 Company, worth
$1,305,000. He ordered its immediate
sale after suit began, and though then
the rate was 195, forced it on the mar
ket and disposed of it for 170. He is
reported to have attempted to sell the
lease of the Metropolitan HoteL
There is universal satisfaction among
men of all parties over the result of the
election.
Charles O'Conner says the Legisla
ture w;;I at o:ico rrocced. to t; e from
the statute book the nefarious laws that
gave so much power to the rascals who
had so nearly ruined the credit of ihJ
city through mismanagement. The suit
against the ring officials will not bo id
lowed to languish, although they will
not be pressed quite so hastily a hereto
fore. It had been the object of the
prosecution to place evidence before the
people, in order that it might be pro
perly considered before the election, and
thus give hone-t men au opportunity of
turning out of office the scoundrels who
so long defrauded the city; but the suits
would proceed, as theie was no inten
tion f allowing them to go by default,
and thus relieve the roughs from the
legal lash which tfcey so richly deserve.
Ingersoll returned to New York on
Monday night. He had been in con
stant communication with his friends,
and ascertained that the limitation of the
order of his arrest, which had been
pranted against him, expired Saturday.
Tuesday he appeared at tho polls in the
Nineteenth ward, voted the Tammany
ticket and returned. Yesterday be sent
a messenger to the Sheriff's office, with
information that he awaited his arrest
with considerable impatience, and had a
gentleman in readiness to sign bonds for
his release. His arrest cannot be effect
ed until a new order can be granted.
This will probably be done to-day.
A new order of arrest has been grant
ed against Thomas Fields. Heislyiug
ill at his residence. This incrning the
formality of arrest was gone through
with, and bail will be given immediately.
The World says the Republican ma
jority in the State is from 12,000 to 17,
000. The Legislature is two-thirds Re
publican in both houses.
General Barlow, the newly elected At
torney General of the Stato, says crimi
nal proceedings will be immediately com
menced against every man implicated iu
the city frauds He says further, we
can now easily rid ourselves of all cor
rupt officials.
f he Mayor and Commissioners are to
be different municipal bureaus. The
judges in the city inferior courts, and
judges of the higher courts, will be
reached by impeachment. A new city
charter will be framed and a new election
ordered.
Deputy Controller Green states that
the result of the election is already felt
in an improved price of city bonds, and
that he will now have no trouble in rais
ing any amount of money.
It is stated Sigel will make O'Dono
van Rossa deputy registrar.
New York, Nov. 10
. A great indignation meeting, to de
nounce the Brooklyn democratic ring
was held to-night, at Brooklyn, in the
Academy of Music. The building was
crammed from parquetto to the upper
gallery. Mayor Kalbfleisch presided.
The president spoke at great length,
proving that a false counting of votes
had taken place at every election, and
declaring it was necessary to appeal to
the Legislature for a law to require cer
tain qualifications in inspectors of elec
tion. The city government . should be
changed and commissions abolished.
Uuited States Attorney Tracy said a
gang of twenty repeaters went round
openly on election day and voted in al
most every district and every ward in
the city. With a connivance of the po
lice, at least 10, OOO fraudulent votes were
east, and in excess of the full vote of the
county.
The latest returns from the State give
the Republicans 1 7,000 majority. There
was an unprecedented amount of inde
p'unlent voting, and the majorities for
Republican Seuators and Assemblymen
are generally larger than the State tick
et. The Assembly stands 90 republican
to 32 democrats.
The citizens of Brooklyn, without dis
tinction of party, held a mass meeting
this evening to deliberate and act con
cerning the frauds in casting and count
ing votes at the recent election.
The Tammany members of the Board
of Aldermen and assistant Aldermen
held a secret caucus on Wednesday night,
and it is believed they will attempt to
hold over another year on the same
ground that other officials hold over, al
leging the election of new Boards this
year is unconstitutional, and they threat
en some damaging exposures of the
leaders unless they are backed up in
their claim.
It is now rumored that Hilton will re
sign from the department of parks,
Hank Smith, Tammany republican, will
resign from the police commission, and
Hickman from the fire commissioners.
An order for the arrest of Ingersoll,
Garvcy and Woodward, will probably be
recived to day.
The Tribune says Ingersolfs is still in
the city, and ready with bondsmen.
The orders in all cases of prosecution
for municipal frauds will be returnable
before Judge Learned, of Albany.-
Tweed has not yet given notice of his
appearance to the prosecuting attorney.
Ln'es he docs so within twenty days
from date of arrest the case goes against
him by default.
The case of Haggerty and Balch,
voucher robbers, did not come up yes
terday. The district attorney says Gra
ham, counsel for defence, asked a post
ponement to look over the testimony
taken before the grand jury. He hopes
to discover ground for a special plea to
quash the indictment. The case comes
up next week.
The Sun says a well-informed gentle
man stated yesterday that Tweed will re
sign from the departnent of public wo ks,
and the Mayor will appoint Gen. Mc
Clellan. New York, November 11.
There are rumors current that Tweed
is meditating flight.
As yet no answer has been put in in
Tweed's case. No notice of hia appear
ance was received yesterday.
A deputation of workingnien, who
waited on Tweed conc2rning their pay,
was treated with much obsequiousness,
Tweed promising to pay. Tho rolls will
be made out forthwith.
From the statements of Mayor Hall,
several aldermen and newspaper report
ers, it appears that the old board of ald
ermen have determined to contest the
seats of the newly elected board, and
that the Mayor will stand by the present
board. This dispute, however, should it
arise, will be settled on the meeting of
the Legislature, when a thorough reor
ganization of municipal affairs will be
made. Bills are to be prepared by the
committee of seventy, abolishing all of
fices now held by Tammany or corrupt
men in New York and Brooklyn, from
and including the judiciary, down to the
police. Nothing short of a clean sweep
will be satisfactory.
Th democratic reform committee
have evidence that fifteen thousand fraud
ulent votes were counted on Tuesdav.
and expect to punish thirty-six repeat
ers already unaersurveuance.
President Grant and General Sherman
arrived this morninc
J. P. Couch of several aliasp.a. bs
been arrested at Providence for passing
NO- 33.
A South Carolina dispatch reports
that the United States Court has sent
enced a largo number of Ku Klux to
the penitentiary. These arrests were
made on the secret evident c of a worth
less negio. and one who had been con
victed of rape. On Wednesday twenty-
one arrests were made. People are flee
ing rapidly.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the alleged election trauds at Brook
lyn, is said to have made startling dis
coverics. The testimony will hot be
made public until action is taken against
the guilty parties.
New Yoik, November 14.
The probabilities of Tweed fleeing from
the cit)', are still the subject of much
discussion. It is stated on reliable au
thority that he has about perfected his
arrangements lor night, and that any
moment may witness his departure.
Yesterday he was said to be trying to
dispose ot his stock m the Lne railwav.
Well informed Tammanyites think it will
take him some time to render port
able his great wealth, but it is defin
itely known that most of his nronertv
ha3 been undergoing conversion into
greenbacks a long time past, and that
his many assignments make it a matter
or case lor him to leave on short notice.
Tweed's rosigcation is said to be in
the hands ol Mayor Hall, and will prob
ably be made public in a few days. No
selection has yet been made ot his place,
though the Mayor has been endeavor
ing to force the office unon seveial.
There is much difficulty in obtaining
men to accept any of tho vacant offices
under Tammany since the election. The
The Mayor has been unable to get per
sons t j take any ot the several import
ant places recently made vacant. There
is so little time between now and the
meeting of the Legislature, when it is
expected that the whole government wiil
he recast, that is likely there will be va
cancies existing and will continue- until
that tune.
Alexander Frear said yesterday that
even if he was not counted out of his
seat in the Legislature, he would not
take it. llo added that no Jainuianv
Democrat who had been elected to the
State Senate or the Legislature would
go to Albany this winter.
