VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1809. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEA U
PROCEEDINGS OF THE TRIENNIAL
CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE.
Tue High Church Question-Spicy Per?
sonal Discussion->The Chicago Con?
flagration-Prayer for the Sufferers
A General t ollectlon to be Taken-Im?
portant Subjects Introduced.
FIFTH DAT.
On Monday morning; the Episcopal General
Convention of the United States resumed ita
business sessions at Emmanuel Church. Balti?
more. The president called the convention to
order for business.
Ladles on the Floor.
TIK president desired to call the attention
of the deputies to the practice which they had
begun ol' introducing ladies within the bar of
the bouse. This caused In other ladies a de?
sire for the same privilege. The consequence
would be that there would not be room for tbe
deputies, and business could not be properly
?r?ceedt-d with. He hoped the deputies would
e-jtr this in mind, and not continue the prac?
tice.
Spicy Dlscusilon of Privilege.
Rev. Dr. Andrews, of Virginia. I rise to a
question of privilege. I see a sermon circu?
lated in this bouse thia morning delivered by
our president, in which there is a document
therein com a! ned to which my name appears
to be attached. My name has never been at?
tached to lt as the chairman has already been
Informed.
Tile President. Yes, sir. through a letter re?
ceived. I hope you received my reoly also.
Rev. Dr. Andrews, o? Virginia. I did. The
, jgrrnop ls by the president.
||ss?lhe President. Does Dr. Andrews desire
any explanation on that point to be given to
the bouse ?
Eev. Dr. Andrews, of Virginia. No more
than to have thc fact mentioned that my came
waa put there .without my authority, and that
I am not at all responsible for the article to
which lt is appended.
The President. I replied to the Rev. Deputy
from Virginia expressing my great pleasure
that bis name bad been placed there without j
his authority, but explaining that I found lt on
a document, and did not see, and never have
seen, his disclaimer until I received his letter.
The Chicago Cheney Slatter.
[Tht document alluded to ls a paper put .
porting to be signed by a number of clergymen
of the church sustaining the course of the Rev.
Hr. Cheney, of Chicago. Ic ls incorporated in
an appendix to a sermon preached ty Rev. Dr.
Craik before his congregation of Christ
Church, Louisville, on June ll. 1871. The
sermon lu its published form bears the title of
4kChrlsiian Love and Party Strife." The text
from which lt was preached was 1st Jubn, TV,
7, et seo., (oelng the epistle for the day,) "Be?
loved, let us love one another; for love is God,
and every one that loveth ls born of God and
knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth
nofrGod; lor God is love.*' The sermon strong?
ly discountenances the distinctions ot "hlgn
Church.'' and "low church," all ideas of party
in the church, opposes the -American Church
Union," takes me ground that the Prayer
Book and the constituted authorities ot the
church should be the oily bond of union, con?
demns the action of the Rev. Mr. Cheney, and
charges that his course was influenced by a j
desire to gain notoriety, and that ie cares
nothing L,r the church.]
Rev. Dr. Vinton, of Massachusetts. I rise to
a similar question; but I am inclined to place
lt ou a broader foundation than my reverend
brother has done. I find in the body of thia
sermon, which bears the lmprimateur ot "the
Rev. James Craik, D. D.," now officiating as
?resident of this house, a certain document,
he sermon, lt seems to me, has a peculiarly
^strikloc and lovable text.
wr- Mr. Whittle, of Georgia, here rose to a ques?
tion ot order; that . 'ne matter now sought to
be made a question of privilege was not be?
fore the house. It was foreign to the pro?
ceedings of the house.
Rev. Dr. Vinton. No person can make a
Ereposition without a preface, and when I
ave announced my purpose the gentleman
can see whether I am the author ot any disor?
derly language. It so, it is for him to pro?
nounce
Mr. Whittle, of Georgia. The gentleman will
allow me to apologize. I did not say that he
bas pronounced anything disorderly, but the
paper from which he ls making the point of |
privilege is in no way before us as a bouse.
Dr. Vinton. It is introductory to my re?
marks, and absolutely necessary to my subject
matter.
Ai this point Mr. Whittle disclaimed any in?
tention of discourtesy.
Dr. Vinton I understand that, sir.
The President. I beg leave to state, as pre?
liminary to question of privilege, seeing the
document that ls In the hands ot the gentle
mam who makes tbe question of privilege, that
the matter came as a surprise upon me from
the Rev. Deputy from Virginia, and I admitted
bis explanation. I do not think there is any?
thing in that sermon, which was a sermon
preached in my own parish church, which can
-aise a question of privilege on this floor, and
the sermon bas not been distributed In this
house, as I am told by the gentleman who had
a number of them in his possession. The
bouse, having heard this declaration from the
president, can now, if th >y chose, listen to
statements ot question of privilege by the
deputy from Massachusetts, and dispose of lt
as they think proper.
Dr. Andrews, ot Virginia. The copies of the
sermon have Just been distributed through the
pews.
The President I r"d not understand so.
Dr. Vinton. They came through the post
office, and addressed te delegations ot each
diocese, and each copy has name ot delegate
upon it. I think there ls privilege In opening
the subject, that it may give the president, it
he chooses lt, an opportunity to say whether
td hlmeelf ls Instrumental in this circulation.
But before we come to that I take the same
Srlvllege that my brother lrom Virginia has
one In calling attention to a paragraph on
the thirteenth page, In which I am personally
Interested. I read it: The elder Tyng, Vin?
ton and others, comprising all the weight of
character in the assembly, earnestly protested
Against the action proposed by John Cotton
Shu li, the y minger Tyng, and their like. But
tke firebrands carried the <*ay, and then the
dignified protesters signed the incendiary doc-1
ument." [American Churchman, 1868.]
My question of privilege is this: that here is
a document spread abroad systematically lo
all delegations and every member of this body,
which contains, so tar as I am concerned, un?
der the authority of tbe dignified name ot our
president, a falsity. The statement ls untrue,
and. therefore, I am glad of an opportunity ot
sating so much. I never protested against any
document which I afterwards signed. Now,
sir, In regard to a general polbt: If. with the
authority that belongs to the chair of this
body, this document has been circulated; if it
bas bis approval in any form-lor lt was print?
ed in Louisville and must have come here by
consent, it would appear-it bears a presump?
tion which ls not a pleasant one. The
question of privilege is this: Is lt right and
ls it to be permitted that documents
assailing-no other word than that will
answer my purpose-assailing a class of j
churchmen of this Protestant Episcopal
Church ot ours in as creditable standing as
any other members-documents assailing their
character or their doings In any form, shall be
studiously circulated among this body, in order
to do what ? In order to do nothing conceiva?
ble but to stir up party strife. The text-oh,
that lt had been beautitully and aptly carried
out-what oil lt might have spread upon the
waters; but here, in a convention whose ses?
sion has been ?arked by remarkably pacific
characteristics thus lar, we come up on this
Monday morning and find this pamphlet de
Claiming severely in all manner of superlative
language against Incendiary publications that
could be put into a catalogue. I would rank this
as No. 1.
Now, I wish that this convention might pass
some act by wbich such proceedings shall be
prohibited for the future. I will not enter Into
a general criticism cf the thlog, except so tar
as to say that if ever Lhere waa^ggfetrati m
ol the luais a non Lvcen?o. tagdH?ere was
Ag backhanded interpretation *$MH?f ficrio
Uurc, I know noih'Ug that catttat^Bgrlhla as
the interpretation ol "Beioved|dS?jfi|?0s>eone
Now, sir, the president has ?n opportunity,
il he pleases, to disclaim the authorizing of
this circu? alon. If the president-I speak it |
wi?yjdl Afcreuce-does not see fit to disclaim
au^tecJjB?erjcy In the matter, then I do think
t?gfl&fF?Miue3tlc>:i for every lover of peace,
for every well-wisher to the church, to d<
some method to be proposed and enacted
that shall prevent such things in?tbe futui
The President. I have only to state i
gard to the question of privilege raised
bave been called upon I must say, I presui
that this sermon was preached in June. I
not then an officer of this body. It was pre
ed in reference to the character of the ti
and meeting the approbation of the congi
tion to whom lt was preached, the public:
was requested, and arrangements were E
for lu general circulation. Of course Idle
dissent from those arrangements. I
nothing personally to do with the dlstribt
of the document in this house or to the n
bers of this house. The gentleman to w
the duty was confided, I suppose, consld
that that would be a proper way, a legltlc
way for the general distribution of the
mon.
The facts which are there stated were ta
from the current publications ot the day.
of them, the one referred to by the gentlei
from Massachusetts, was from a commue
tlon to a paper which had been made tl
years bet?re, founded upon a document t
before me. That document, however, I
not have when I incorporated a portlo
that communication into the sermon, but I
sure that it was true then so far as the au tr.
ty of the reported proceedings of the m
lng In Philadelphia could be relied upon,
was not my intention (I never have done s
a thing that I know ot) to place any man I
position which he had not deliberately tak
I found the matter with regard to the gen
man from Virginia in a printed document,
culateo" by those with whom he is in the hi
of associating, and I did not see bis
claimer. In reference to the matter which
occurred in Philadelphia, I think in 1868,
ot lt had passed out of my mind except t
which I embodied in a communication in
American Churchman at the time, which,
you will see from the sermon, was Intender,
be an argument against the formation of
American Church Union, and was not inte
ed at all to reflect on those who now mi
complaint. It simply gave their acknowledj
action, never contradicted, as an illustr?t
of the mischiel to come norn the formatiot
such a society as the American Church Uni
and others like it. This ls all that I can th
of now that is proper for me to say. The v
words whtcb I used showed the highest
spect for the gentleman who makes the cc
plaint-a respect which I have always felt c
always expressed from the time of my first
quaintance with that distinguished geni
man-and lt is annoying to me that he sho
be the party now to complain ot that rel
ence to hla honcred name.
Rev. Dr. Vinton, of Massachusetts. Sir,
is necessary to truth and history, so far a
am an unworthy agent in producing hlsto
that I should make this body at least und
stand that that specific statement touching :
action in the matter ls false. I say that, an
wish gentlemen would understand lt. C
president does not take the ground o? a li
aspirant lor office In Massachusetts. Wii
General Butler went around stumping I
8* ate he brought up all the charges, and al
g?tions, or statements that were made, and
said I got them from the newspapers, and
course they are false. Our president inf?
otherwise-, rather like the child who says,
saw lt In the newspapers, and it must
true."
Does he "uppose that every person reads
the newspapers ? Does he sur pose that a pi
son with any sell-respect would take pains
write to the American Churchman or any otb
paper to correct a misstatement like that ?
makes no difference to the world at lar
when such a statement ls made In the nev
papers. It goes for what ll ls worth, but wh
lt comes here with the imprlmateur of o
president, and that statement ls made, I fe
called upon as an Individual simply to say
the convention, gentlemen, that statement
not correct. Having said that, so far as I fl
personally concerned, I am quit. I only si
that lt ls a misrepresentation, so far as I a
personally concerned, of almost my who
status and bearing, and on that account I a
a little Impatient of the association.
Be that as lt may, sir, I do think it is
grave question for this body to determine by
rule that shall guide them In all time wheih
pamphlets having any such tendency as tb
shall be circulated, addressed, as lt were, of
dally, semi-officially at least, to the membe
ol this body, the direct and only effect
which must be to create Ul feeling. We prc
for the nnity ot the church-we pray evei
day against Ignorance*, pride and preludie
How can that prayer be accepted and answe
ed, wheo, upon the very heels of lt, sue
practical measures as this are taken to fomer
party strife ? I submit lt lo the convention (
a Christian brother, altogether now in a moe
of feeling separate from my personality in th
matter. It seems to me that if I were an om
sider, If I were elevated to a standard fa
above these terrene associations, I should ss
such a thing ought to be prohibited by a
means, and that this body, the representatlv
of the church, should put its heel upon ever
such attempt, In the name of God and c
peace.
Bev. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin. The Rev
Dr. Tinton has just expressed the opinion tha
this matter should be put on the ground c
principle, not on the ground of any personall
ty whatever, and lt Is upon that doctrine tha
I offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That this house will not restrict th
liberty of debate in any of the members, or th
liberty ol instruction, by censuring In the ver;
slightest decree, or of putting themselves li
the position of seeming to censure, any prince
document put before the eyes of the member
of this house by any respectable member c
the same.
On motion of Dr. Halght, of New York, tai
whole subject was laid upon the table.

The House, at 3.15 P. M., adjourned, after
passing a motion to assemble formally thts
evening to hear the sermon of the Lord
Bishop ot Litchfield.
Address by the Lord Bishop or Litchfield
- Large Collection for Chicago suf?
ferer-.
Monday evening the Right Rev. Lord Bishop
Selwyn, of Litchfield. England, delivered the
address at Emmanuel Church before the Trien?
nial Conven!ion ot the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United Stales, which he had
been invited to make last week, at the begin?
ning of the present session of the body In this
city. Emmanuel Church was filled long before
the hour appointed for the services to begin,
and many were co m pel 1er. to go away, unable
even to wedge themselves Inside the doors.
Bishops Eastburn and Mcllvaine read the
evening prayers, after which Bishop Selwyn
addressed the convention. His text waa from
the 16th chapter of St. John and 13th verse,
"How be lt when He, the spirit of truth Is
come, He will guide you Into all truth, for He
shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He
shall hear that shall He speak; and He will
show you thlnp to come." From thu text
the Right Reverend bishop preached a pow?
erful and fl uti h ed discourse. In the couse of
his remarks be referred to differences of opin?
ion which spring up In the minds of Christian
men. Many men, pious men, think they have
attained perfect light. If this were true, pri?
vate judgment and Infallibility would bethe
same thing. This cannot be the true guidance
of the spirit of truth. No one can question the
right of private judgment. Every man ls free
to take medicine, but he would act more wise?
ly if he employed a physician. The same
may be said with relerence to the advice of the
lawyer.
No ability of private judgment nor personal
piety, however deep, will enable a man io dis?
pense with the spirit of counsel. It ls a com?
mon mistake to speak of such counsels aa
those of mere legislative machinery. The Holy
Ghost guided them in all truth through the
dim twilight of our Imperfect lalth to the truth
as lt Is In Jesus. Personal religion is much,
but lt is not all. There ls a vast difference
between the rock and the Band produced bv Its
disintegration. The rock ls Christ. Our faith
does not rest upon the shilling sands of pri?
vate opinion. To maintain this truth is the
main duty ot the council now assembled. This
council ls the Lord's bank, Into which each
one brings his talent. So they meet together
to Impart to one another the gifts o? grace
and to pay each hi* tribute to the Lord's
treasury. But there must be no base met?
al. They must not bring their crude opin?
ions to fuse Into base metal. First purge away
the dross and pour the metal into one
mould. It was for them to regulate the or?
der in which this offering was to be made to
God. In the closet there ls perfect freedom to
pray to the Father, who sees In secret. God
is not the author of confusion, but of peace.
Their duty was to take care thal the order of
public worship was maintained. Everything
done by man's authority can be changed, but
each should yield their private opinions to the
to the Judgment of all. There need be no ser?
vile uniformity lt lhere be a recognized author?
ity which all men can obey. He hoped that
some central authority might be appointed to
regulate this power In the minds of those who
claim as lawful : nings which are not expe?
dient. Thus the outward ordinances ot the
church may promote the advance of the
church. But one evidence remains-the great?
est, the most enduring ol all-upon which lo
unite : "It ye have love one to another."
They all might be one, that the world might
believe. a9 when the pagan said, "How these
Christians love one another." In their private
conversation and lu their public controversies
they should abstain from all seasonlugs of
speech common to secular assemblies. Be
courteous to each other, and if there cometh
one who belleveth not, he will say ihat. God ls
wlih you lu truth. Three years ago it was felt
In ihe mother country- that, notwithstanding
the great gulf between the North and South,
their hearts were not divided. The earthquake
spent Hs power, the chasm closed, and all
pressed forward again to Join hand with hand
and heart with heart. May they all look for?
ward and lope lor better things, and that
wars may cease. Let England and America
say to each other, "Let there be no strife be?
tween us."
Collection for Chicago.
Bishop Mcllvaine stated that action had been
taken by the two houses of the convention in
relation to the disposition of the collection
taken up to-night. At his request the secre?
taries ol the two houses read the resolution
passed, that the amount ot the collection
should be sent to the mayor of Chicago, to be
applied under his direction to those rendered
homeless and houseless by the great calamity
which has fallen upon their city.
Aller speaking ol the extent of the destruc?
tion, the bishop said such a calamity had
never been known In any land, that is. such a
calamity by conflagration. Let this nrst col?
lection for their relief be an example for all
other collections.
The Right Rev. Bishop Whittingham urged
each and every one to assist in making "the
collection ol the gilts of the congregation.
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, read the
offertory sentences while the collection was
being made.
There was used for the purpose ol the co'lec
tion the large and beautifully ornamented sil?
ver alms dish, presented by the ministry of
Oxford to the representatives of the American
churches attending the fiftieth anniversary or
jubilee of the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel iu England, in 1852, to oe held In
trust by St, Paul's Church for the General Con
I vention of the United States, as a token of
united fellowship.
The salvor, which was about eighteen inches
in diameter, was neaped with contributions,
weighed down with the smaller salvors. The
amount realized must have been several thous?
and dollars, as many persons deposited in it
bills of a large denomination.
The vast congregation was then dismissed
with the benediction of Bishop Selwyn.
Yesterday's Proceedings.

that a new board of trustees shall be consti?
tuted, was referred to the committee on the
General Theological Seminary.
The convention passed a resolution ordering

DOUBLE DEALING IN POLITICS.
Tit? Antics of an Agile Lieutenant
Governor-Rnnsier Handled Without
Gloves by a Colored Legislator.
TO TOE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
My attention has been called to a para?
graph la THE NEWS of the 10Hi Instant, taken
Irom the Washington Chronicle, saying "that
a substantial and decided reorganization ol
the Republican party ls needed In the several
States of the South ls unquestionable." To
that I say Amen ! for we have had enough of
men being on both sides of every question.
The idea of a man being one part of an eve?
ning lu one convention, and the next minute
he is* found forming another, and then, alter
tooling with the people's confidence as long as
he pleases, has the tace to come before thu
people and tell them "be had his own fight to
make." Next he is found In the Taxpayers'
Convention, agreeing with all that is pro?
posed by the said convention, and Iben
comes outside and tries to make others be?
lieve that he attaches no Importance to
the convention. He goes to a Citizens' ward
meeting and makes the best Reform speech of
any man presenl; and then goes to a Republi?
can meeting and claims to be the best Repub?
lican in South Carolina; and then has the lace
(the Ward 8 speech notwithstanding) to go lo
Columbia, and In a caucus to try to make the
world believe that no one ls so competent to
represent the Republican party ot Charleston
County as himself and two other gentlemen
Northern adventurers-one of whom Hie peo?
ple have said repeatedly that they will noe
have to represent them neither as senator nor
city lather. Yet no one ls so worthy a repre?
sentative as he. The first gentleman In
question went North and said that the Reform
party In South Carolina would be the best peo?
ple In the world if they were let alone by thc
Republican party. He comes home and says
to the people, who put him In office,
"Don't mind that. You know I did
not mean lt. It ls politic." He says
to one set of men that he don't believe
that there Is such a thing as K. E. K.'s In South
Carolina and, in the same breath, he tells
others that the Ufe ol no Republican ls safe in
the up-country. He says that the only way to
bring about peace In the State is for the Re?
publican party to oust all Ignorant and Incom?
petent men from office. I say ditto. Let the
party commence with him first, tor lt ls my
opinion that If the taxpayers in this State
could be shown that the appropriation for the
support of the State in 1SG8 and 18G9 had been
Judiciously applied, lhat there was no wasteful?
ness or extravagance, and that every dollar
expended by the State officials, within the last
two or three years, had been expended in such
a manner as to make lt go the farthest In doing
Its work In paying the debt of the State, and if
the State officials had been paid somewhat injac
cordance with the value of the services they
render and with some reference to competen?
cy-we would hear no complaint by the Re?
formers or Republicans. There would be no
complaint or charge of extravagance and no
dissatisfaction with the Republican adminis?
tration. The gentleman, like many other
State fathers, ls becoming very much excited
about the campaign ot 1872; but like one with
flames before and floods behind, and sure de?
struction on either side, he knows not whither
to turn. He ls surrounded by an atmosphere
Ailed with angry murmurings at the unfaith?
fulness of himself and ethers, who lord il over
the heritage ot the people. The term of the
dictatorial functionary, with $2500 salary, per
diem and mileage, ls nearly expired, and in
the next campaign, with no land commission
nor State treasurer at their back, it will be
pretty tight papers with some of ihe gentle?
men even if the committee should succeed in
having Marshal Johnson removed.

NATIONAL FINANCES.
[From the New York Journal of Commerce.]
Secretary Boutwell. as a gentleman recently
from Washington Informs us, is the most dis?
gusted official in the government service. He
isn't pleased with some of his most conspicu?
ous subordinates, but he cannot help himself.
He can neither reform them, whitewash them,
nor remove them. He complains ot them In a
querulous tone to the President, but the chief
ls apathetic; he receives the appeal coldly, and
smokes ou complacently, and the objectionable
Incumbents of good places are left to slick.
Then his foreign negotiation of bonds has mud?
dled his figures. He announced that he had
placed the remainder ot the two hundred mil?
lion loan, and the delivery of the bonds com?
menced. When the first of the month came,
how should lie make up bis debt statement? If
he added Ihe bonds handed over lo the Syndi?
cate to his issues, then the volume of the debt
was Increased, and this the law forbade. If he
made the proper allowance for Interest, then
the bonds were sold at from iwo and a half per
cent, to three per cenl. below par, and this was
forbidden. So he says lhat he has sold the
bonds, and the Syndicate say that they have
bought them, and the deliveries from their
hands prove that there has been an issue on
some terms; but the official debt statement re?
cognizes noue of these transactions, either In
the increase of the bonded debt or the receipt
of the cash equivalent. Then, again, it ls said
that this bad management here and the equally
bad manipulation of affairs in London by the
two treasury agents, who really have a branch
treasury department there, have so embar?
rassed the Syndicate that, even with all their
pluck, energy and smartness, they haven't
made the thing go as they expected, and may
have yet to throw part of the bonds back on
his hands. We think Mr. Boulwell's disgust is
not unreasonable; we share it ourselves, and
most ol our readers are suffering from the
same experience.

THE NEW YORK RINO FRAUDS.
Report of the Committee of Seventy
Addreas to the Workingmen-Keyatr'i
Revelations- Failure to Indict Con?
nolly.
NEW YORK, October 9.
The Joint Investigating committee of alder?
men, supervisors and citizens met In the room
of the supervisors, In the county courthouse,
to-day at 3 o'clock, and the citizens submitted
reports which they have been preparing for
two months past. The Tribune sayB the re?
ports are voluminous, and will be found on
examination comprehensive and conclusive.
They establish beyond any reasonable doubt
several most damning facts. They show that
the city debt ls practically $12,000,000; that
not merely extravagance but fraud and pecu?
lation ot the grossest character have bees prac?
ticed in several departments, with the knowl?
edge of their heads; that the debt has been
doubled every two years since 1869; that the
mayor ls responsible for the continuation of
the wholesale robbery of the city; that lt costs
nearly as much ({30,000,000 a year) to run the
government of this city as to administer that
of the whole nailon; that while $3,221,865 62
were paid for armory repairs, ic, the actual
expenditure was not more than $202,463, In
other words, the ring stole on armory ac?
counts alone $3,029,402 62; that immense sums
have been paid for services unperformed to
men unknown In the offices from which they
drew their salaries; that the Schuyler frauds,
by which the bills ot one contractor were
raised from $48,000 to $463,000, were commit?
ted through the connivance of William M.
Tweed.
During two years and a half John H. Keyser
received $2,381,692 02 from the New York city
and county treasury. At Friday night's meet?
ing of the committee of seventy, it was an?
nounced that Mr. Keyser had assigned to Mr.
Jackson S. Schultz, ot the citizens' committee,
property to the value ot $600,000, for the pur?
pose of repaying from Its proceeds all sums
paid to him in excess of his Just claims for
corporation work. Keyser writes a lelier to
the press, denning his position. He says he has
no intention of absconding, and lias ne ver. re?
ceived any $2,000,000 from the city, but ?bet
he has earned every dollar that has been
paid. There are among the warrants purport?
ing to have been issued to bim $800,000 which
he never received, and if in his name are
forgeries. As charges have been made, he
has, to vindicate his own character, assigned
his property to cover any claims against nlm,
conddent that it will turn out that the city, In
tact, is indebted to him. Tweed is not his
partner, but his principal emyloyees share a
percentage of profits, which La the secret of
the firm title of Keyser & Co.
The committee of seventy have prepared an
address to the workingmen, setting lorth
clearly and concisely the method by which the
ring robbed the city treasury and deceived the
workingmen into supporting them. The com?
mittee have overwhelming proofs against
men now living, and at the proper time they
will be forthcoming, aud men whom the com?
munity would hardly suspect will be found
having a hand in the city treasury and divi?
ding the spoils.
An attempt to indict Comptroller Connolly
has failed.
