SECRET HISTORY OF TIE LAST STRUGGLE IL
ST. TAMMANY.
Isa;d in my opening that there were grave suspi-
ciors Of corruption against " Bid in the Bush -
for he had not had his crop stuffed and his comb
cut" as binted by two " smallsized papers, how
otherwise could he have forborne to over the
suit Of the late Tammany election
Keep in your mind if you please, that this fight at
St Tammany was political war, having little OF no
reference to the municipal struggle wagiDg in our
public Offices and courts with such weapons as in
functions and quo warrantors; it was a comba, indie
pendont though destinedt to exert animporant influence
on the Other-a combat between rOwdies anu respec-
tabity--between honest men and rOgues for political
ascendaDcy and in the mortal arbitration Of the
Sachems, his Honor was routed utterly, beyond re.
demption and beyond redress; Mr. Michael
Tuomey has beenreceny inquiring the price of Grape
and Irish Tom and the other whsk y-braves pour out
libatons TO the memory of their dead Chief with
steadier and yet unsteader hands Our municipal
freebooers lave been expelled from their seats around
the Council-fres of the Big Wgwam, and the place
that knew his Honor to IFS cost, and that his Honor
knew to his great profit, the result of the West
chestran vctoy-has dissolved these relationships for
ever
PARKER VEIN ILLUSION DIssIPATED.
Even at the risk of seeming tedious must recapitu
late some Of the points essential to full understanding
of the scheme by which his Honor hocussed the Col
lector. The story Of Lowber and his market specula
ton under the regime Of Mr.. Redfeld, would lose
nearly half its piquancy if the public were left in ig
norance Of Tire plans devised by his Honor to retain
dominion Of the Custom House. II has been stated in
Tie Hera1d-the Mayors special organ Cof which
Judge Russell chief bellows-man that the fight at
st. Tammany a mere squabble for the spells y
This is about equal to his HOnors discovery-imme
diately after the adverse result Of the contest had
been declare6-that "the struggle for Sachems was
"Mr. Sches struggle, not his; and that consequently
"the defe at was Mr.. Schels defeat, in which he was
" in nowise Interested"
RECAPITULATION OF IMPORTANT HEADS.
On the appointment of the Collector, it had been
agreed between Mather, Croswell and his Honor, in
pursuance of a grand combination formed at Washing
ton while Dir. Schel was still the anxious seat of
expectancy that his Honor should retain through the
covert influence Of his two associates, the same as
cendancy over oil Custom-House appointments which
he had exercised during Mr. Redfeds tenure by mar
keting with the market-hOpes of Mr. Robert w. Low
Der, Mr.. Redfelds respected son-in-aw. BY manage
ment the three conspiratos hoped to induce Mr. Sche
to throw the entire weight of his position and patron
age into his Honors hands for the purpose of revival
ling the system that otherwise the brink OF
dissolution epd them by general slaughter of the
nnocents assembled round the " baked meats of his
Honors fictitious funeral, his Majesty might be again
enthroned as King of Manhattan leland and monarch
of all he surveyed.
But the prerequisite of this scheme the seizur
of st. TammaDy and the installation of the Wilso
Small Committee as bis Honors obedient tools: with
the Sachems in his power he could do everythng-but
from Council inclined to honesty, what was there
that such man might not fear All the evil in
Huences of the city sefnterested in bis Honors
success: if the heart of corruption ceased TO beat
what hope was left for the minor prehensie organs OF
municipal absorption Let me briefly chronicle some
few Of these evil influences anayed under the Chinese
banner and engaged in the assault on the Wigwam:
the magnitude of the victory may be estimated from
the golden spos collected from the killed and cold on
the morning after the battle. His Honor had regiment
from the County Clerks Office, Col. X. b. Connolly
{" Slippery Dick) commanding, with Mr.. Jack Brown
for Adjutant and Steve Duryea Supervisor of the
Commissariat. A regiment from the Sherffs Office,

Cornell to whom his Honor has promised the shrieval

BILE musce on the tanks. A regiment from the
Office of the Council to the Corporation, "Galo-

May for fugleman, and Dutch Stemmler bringing up
the German reserve. A whole regiment, minus its
proper Colonel, from the Controllers Office, with Joe
Rose anu MI Snhtn paying CooheI alerhdtey, ia the
absence of Col. Flagg who retains foolish preu
dices in behalf of honesty. Three cohorts Of Office
seekers, headed by Mr.. VIM. McMunay the same

were al told that if the Wilson Small Committee were
victorious 90 might be relied upon for turning out all
