now hsviur the affairs ofthc Company investi-

taken by this committee, ns published from
day TO day in the Boston papers, is as won

Whatever the report of the committee may
be, It is quite plain that unless more money is
obtained In some way, the 100000 already
advanced by the State will be irrevocably
lost. since the road in its present incomplete
condition earns comparatively nothing.
Should the action Of the Legislature BIO
favorable TO the wishes ofthe Company, how
ever, there is reason TO believe not only that
the whole mortgage debt of $80,0O0000
might be ptod, but also that the stock, now

The rrice Of state Scnators--A Sum in

Taxpayer TWEED saws that he offered
Sheriff OBRiEN 100000 to carry his charter
through the State Senate This is his own
statement TO our reporter, published in
Mondays SrS. What his estimate is, there
fore, OF the money value Of his fellow
Senators, mey w. nscertained by a IVORY simple
aritlimetcal process.
There are in all, ihrtytwo Senators. A
majority of the whole number is seventeen.
Mr.. TWEED OF course did not mean 20 buy
himself, nor his fricnd BRADLEY, nor Messrs.
CRE,NrR, GrNEr, and MICHAEL NORTON,
who were sure already for their charter.
There remained, then, only twelve more men
to be gained over and for the purchase Of
these twelve he allowed 100000. Dividing
fe0o,000 by 10 gives s16 G6G each. which IL,
then, The average price set by Mr.. TwELD
or each man.

Senators. Mr. TWEED had in his eye when he
mude his calculation, he has not Informed ne.

Republicans, or some of one party and some
OF the other Assuming, however, that he
would prefer 10 spend his money among his

seen that there is in it one name too rauy to
