and on tbe iullowing day Mr. Tweed roplieu to
Mes.?rs. Field h Deyo, virtually relieving tbeiu irom
lurtbur service. Copies of tuese letter* will ;>e
louud at latigtb la my first communication to Mr.
Faircbild 1 mention tb? subject of those letters from
liu<ouu??< lor tbe purpose ot showing that Mr. Tweed
ai that time waa In great uncertainty as to wbat was
to be tlie result of Ula proposition, and
through till* uncertainty tie :ost trie ser
vcei ol tbe able couusel who bad theretofore
conducted his delence. in bis letter to Mr,
O'Conor Mr. Tweed says:?'-I regiet that my uieuns
hare now become so utterly inadequate. 1 would not I
uiake the (utile oiler il I bau uut t>ome assurance |
through your published statements thai tne vindica
tion ol principle ana the prospect ol permaiieuny
purltying tbo public service are the objects
you Iiuvo io view us being more desir
able tbuu the recovory ol mosey." In this
letter he simply oilers to confess, to make sucb
restitulou i> is iu his power, submitting bmisell to
the most searching scrutiny. Nothing is luuuiaied
in tbis letter about bis corroborating everything he
Confessed to, and bad tbut been demuudud oi hint
thou be would u.<ve seen how lutlle Ills proposition
really was. On the 23d of February I called on Mr.
Tweed at the Jail, in company with the Attorney Gen
eral anil Mr. i'ookham.
NKCKSslTY OV A YL'LL CONFESSION.
Tbe Attoruey Geueral then Impressed upon Mr.
Tweed tbo absolute necessity ol making it lull cou
lessiou ol bis crimes and uccompltces. and nothing
loss would be acceptable. As the Attorney General
roluecd to suggest any stiujeciG upon wbicu
be speclully required lulormatiou, aud it waa
impossible lor Mr. Tweed to bring to mind,
on cull, all ol bis misdeeds or tbo names
ol all his associates, a oriel summary was prepared
of what he timnediatoly brought to retnctnbrauoe
nud forwarded to the Attorney General ou tbe 2dth of
February. From about Men until April 4 1 heard
nothing uirecliy irom the Attorney General, although
i ? learned tuut he whs tu communication
With Carolln O'Bryan Bryant, and bad visited
Mr. Tweed in prison with him aud alto alone,
and had conversed with him about bis ullalrs,
aud hud carried away Irotu tbo jail pupera belonging
to h:m. For weeks X bau uo tuilueuce whatever over
Mr. Tweed. He relieu upon the lulormatiou which
be received or thought be received Irout Mr. Fatr
cbild through Bryant, iu the early part ol April,
bowever, Mr. Tweed having begun to loao conQdeuco
iu Bryunt I hud an interview with Mr. Falrcbtld at
the Buckingham Hotel, lu this city, aud obtaluod
from htm a statement of what 4Ir. I weod must do
to obtain uis discharge, lie then said that tl he mado
a lul'confusion au<i restored what property he still
had ho would be reieused, aud not otherwise. This
uesuiauce, 1 understood, he also gave to Comptroller
Keily, ol this city, as well as to Mr. Tweed peisoually.
Upon tbe strength ol this the statement was urawu
which bus been called "the confession," and was
placed lb Mr. Faircbild's bauds on tbe 17th ot
April. Not a word was said to mo prior to
the preparation ot tins statement, nor to
Mr. 'iwoed, us i understand from him, tbat it
would be necessary lor him to lurnisb corroborative
evidence oi ull tbut he confedsed tu. 1 rospectiuily
ask you to look at tbis statement and see whether
there is anything in it wluoti Justified its detention by
the Attorney General lor nearly two mouths? I ask
whether, in tho very cummcaoeuient or the
statement, Mr. Tweed does not sot lortb all
tbut bo is willing and ab:o to do, and whether he was
not entitled to an immediate answer bused upon bis
proposition T Does ho not say tbat be sets lorth ull
the chocks and papnrs which are in his possession,
confirmatory of what he states. Tbe proposition to
the Attorney General was this, "Will you uis< n.irge
uio if 1 do what is set form ib my siuterneutf"
During the time this statement was held by Mr. Fair
child Mr. Tweed, at the xuggostiou of Mr. Fulrobild,
was visited by Mr. reekbum, bt? assistant; by Mr.
Wiitvuey, thu Corporation Counsel ot tbis el y, aud by
his assistant*, and by privute counsel ualleu iu by tho
Corporation Counsel to try some ol tbe cases insti
tuted by or ugaiust ttie city growing uut ol tho
King Irsuds. fly all tbese gentlemen ho lias been ex
amined. lie bus*een quesilonod about almost every
thing, auu has beeu taken once or twice buiore a ref
eree to testily in the action known as tue "NaVurto
Water Meter Suit," which is an action urought
against tue city and which involves more tbau
$l,oixi,bOO. A question as to wbulber the referee
should uut be displaced iu oouaequeuce ol business
iclations witb one ol the litigants. as 1 am inlornied,
alone prevented uis lesliftiooy from being taken. In
oouuectiou Willi this 1 herewith submit to you u letier
Irom Mr. Bangs, tue utile couusel retained to rnpre
sent the city in delence ol the Navarro claim. Alter

him that Judgment may lie takeu aguinsl him lor the

called lor to put tbe people to lurlbor expense,
and tbut siiioo a thorough exposure o( tils affairs
h.id been inaiie utiiier direction of Mr. >'uir
child, It would be inure Mali useless to deiend.
1 rcspccnully ur^e that outside ol tbe lact
that Mr. I'a rchtiil made a distinct promise to
discharge Mr. l'weed Iroui arrest il be iruiulully con
fessed his misdeeds ana gavo the uamoa ol his sm>o
cialeo, which prumtae can be abundantly proven, the
treatment of Mr. Tweed as connected with tbe cave
ol Mr. Sweeny should be enough to authorise bis dis
charge. With the evidence ot lhgorsoll, * uo was
discharged Irom Stale Prison mainly that be might
testily in this case against .Sweeny, with th* benefit
which certainly would havo accrued In the plaint ill
from tbe crosa-examtnaiiou ol Mwveuy, who would
have been compelled to tune the stand In bis own be
half, with the testimony ol Woodward, with wuich I
am entirely latuiilar, bavin* besn his couuaol, tbe
overwhelming testimony ol Mr. Tweed would bsvo
rendered a verdiot lor tbe people beyond quu.t

from wnui bau transpired, inc udiog tbe interviews
aud conversslions b id witu Mr. Tweed aud myseil
on tbe sunjoel, we fell almost oontidcul mat he would
be used as * witness upon that trial and tltoa oe dis
charged. tveu Mr. rockham, who then bail control

believe was the only law passed that year liariu;;
reierence to your control of actions growing out of'
the King irauda, and Uud tbo ouiy reierence made lo
the Governor la in section 4 of Wio act, and tbeu only
to prescribe that ai the request of the Governor

you us suOlcunt upon tbo question of your power to

But Mr. Tweed asks nothing but his liberty. He (a

aiTURDAT, Api-ii la?u r. u. }
It was not possible thai so favorite a stock as Lake
Shore could remain la ibe doldrums lor any lenutn of
time without attraction oolp irom some quarter, so
wben an active speculation was started to-duy aud
tbe price curried up lroin 06% 10 67 % at the close no
great surprise was created. According to street rr.
ports, which as a u->uai thing are as nearly wrong
as they are rignt, the new departure has been taken
under ibe Incentive ot wtiat in me slaug ol tbo trade
la known as a "straddle," er privilege 10 receive or
deliver a certain number of shares wlthm a lixed
time at a fixed price. In ilia present lostanco tho
story goes that Mr. Keene has sold such a privilege
upon 10,000 abates, the time being sixty days and
the equivalent $30,000. Tho necossafy sequence
would ba an operation In tuo stock, which
In this case has been a buying one,
wltb t'ie result noted. The advance, howover,
waa only partially due to this transaction. Lak e
Shore has been about tne only bear pit in the market
where full grown bruins and trading oubs liave ocorned
tbcmselvea reasonably safe Iroiu the attacks of tbelr
loes, tbe bulls, aud consequently It was startling this
morning to find themselves ttio victims ol a misplaced
eoulldenoe. There was but one thing to <1 o. aud that
was to Scamper, and soamper tbey did, from bow
wiudow to Bread street, covering their sbqrts and
adding a fictitious value to quotations. It la not to be
supposed, because the old favorite has been re
entlirouea, that tbe Northwest speculation was
allowed to suffer. Ou tbe contrary it was pushed with
uuauated perseveranoo. The control ol the election
la still tbe bono of contention,-and to-day's wrangle
was savage enough to further advance both common
and preferred stock severally 1% and 2 por cent, lu
lact, tbe entire market advauood to a greater or less
decree and the bull Impulse waa more strongly
dtvolopeJ than has been tho o^ae tor many a month.
To tbe various arguments in lavor or a rtso which the
bulls adduce an additional one presents itself In the
expansion wb c!i would arise (rem a return to specie
payments. Iu /act, tbe financial situation boa greutly
changed aince Mr. Sherman made bis contract with
the syndicate, and tne premium on gold has dropped
to a paltry quarter per cent. Wltb tbia out of tba
wny, and kepi oui of tho way, the itold ouitida or tba
Treasury is converted from merchandise into money
aud many mtiJlona are added to ibe currency of the
country. Under ibis inflation?au iutlanoo /ounded
npou solid values and not upon mere promises to pay?
au important advance In all desoripilous of property
would seem to be Inevitable. A recognition ol tbla
lact by ibe pablio and a disposition to act iu accor
dance would seetn to bo tba one thing needlul to help
tba market on to artll higher prices.
