An Appropriate Sequel to a Career of Crime--Serving tho World in Poverty, Prison and Disgraco--A Solomn Warning. The death of Win. M. Tweed in prison on the 221 instant furnishod a text for many religious discourses on the following day. His re, iiia kable career and its fitting con elusion will long be poinhted out as 'in exailple of virtue being its own reward. Tweed suffered from a complication of disoases, but his death resulted immediately from diseaso of the heart. Only a few friends were around his bedside. Win. Marcy T ved was born on the 3d of April, 1823, and might still have been called a young man. He rose from low beginnings, his father being a chairimaker. William was taken into the shop, but having dulled the tools, destroyed a few chairs and cut his fingers, ho was put out as errand boy in a hard ware store. Taoro lhe turned his attention to the alphabet, and first learned to read. As lie grow up his character developed itself. At the age of twenty-six, ho was fore man of the Amehiricus fire company, faniiarly known as "Iig Six." This coimptny rapidly reached the first l)1;ce in the Now York fire departmnent ; and Tweed took it on a round of visits to Philadelphia, \W'aas'iingtoi, and other placos, being lionized and feted wherever he wenut. Tho ire department was a wsteppin - stone in politics, and in 1851 Tweed became alderman from tWe Seventh ward. In 1853 he repuesented the Democrats in Con gress. Bnt that body being honest in those days, he wearied of service in it. In 1856 he was made school conunissioner in his ward, and then Isupervisor, in which office his talents for plundering the publi.c mainfested itself. This was ii(o beginning of rings. In 1867 he be Clime State Senator. At Albany lie con trolled legislation, buying Republicans whenever the Demo.. crats were in a minority. IN THE STATE SENATE. If there ever was a man not a king who was awarded kingly honors that man was Tweed, when he was a miember of the upper house of the State Logislature. He lived in princely style at the Dala van while lie was Senator, and his princely ways of traveling to and from the capitol was the admiration of the "b'hoys." In the winter of 1871 the Legislature always ad journed over from Friday afternoon till the followving Monday evening, and the "Boss" alwvays had a large compilartnment to himself in one of the WVagner cars, the only occupant biesides himself b)eing, as a general rule, either Claney or Corneille CJorson, one of his pets. In 1871 the Albany trains left New York from the~ Thirtieth street depot, and it wvas the "ten-.thirty" train which thle city members of the fLegisla ture patronized. It was 'oimposed entirely of drawing room cm s, for not one of the twenty-one could in ths days bear the sight of an ordinary ear. "'Thm cars," as one of the shining lights of the * Lower Houiso used to say, wvas "only good 'nouigh furi them hayrakors from the countr'y." Twveed's comn partmnent wvas always the best in the linest car on the train. Tihiough Sweeny, and even the dainty Con, nolly, always pult in an alppearanco at t lie dop ot, carpet-.bag in hand, and got aboard with thme general cr'owdl, it was not so with the "Bo00s." When his carriage hove in sight in Thirtieth street, near Ninth avenue, the gates of the yar'd of the depot were swung oipen and the carriage was allowed to drive in and deposit its precious freight at the very door of the palace car in which Twveed's compartment was located. This answered a double purpose. It allowed the ".Boss" to escape the importunities of the crowd of laborers who were always in want, and to wvhom Tweed never had the heart to refuse assistance once they got hold of him, and it made the twenty- one instruments who did his bidding under the name of "members from the city" feel that they were not all bosses. TWEED AND THE "B'N07S." SYet Twaad was not an aveahnar. ing chief to his logislative followers. He always had a kind word for everyone, and when ho took a stroll, as he often did, through the train he saw everybody at a glance. It wais not "How do you do," Mr. This or That, but "Flow are you, Jim," "A nice day, Tom," "You're looking like a fighting cock, Billy," and so on. It was always the samne old "Boss" recognizing the fact that though familiarity may brood con tenpt in the ni:m who stoops to conquer for those to whoin ho stoops thoro are certain poople who cani only be won by being p.ttted on the hack and being called Tom, Jim or Hank for friendship sake. But it was at the Delavan that Tweed acted the part of king with the greatest effect. Ho had the finest suit of rooms the house could afford and it is said paid $500 a week for them. WHERE WORD WAS LAW. There was one room that was used as a reception room, and to which everybody was welcome ; but beyond the threshold of the sanctum sanctorium, just off it, where the "Boss" received his visitors who lird "privato business" to transact, no one dared to venture unless lie was told by Clancy, who acted the part of the sentinel on the watch tower, that Mr. Tweed was ready to receive him. Scarcely a day passed during the session that the reception room was not crowded by applieants for favors. Republican Senators and members of the Lower House, some of whom, after the "Boss' " downfall were the loudest in their denunciations of the old mtan, made it often their Mecca. With cringing air and almost bonded knee they stood, each wait. ing his turn when the monarch of the State government would deign to listen to their pleadings.
