New York, December l6.-The grand
jury yesterday found several indictments
against VIM. Tweed, charging him with
the crime of felony During the after
noon bench warrants were placed in the
hands Of Sheriff Brennan for the arrest
of Tweed. The sheriff at once waited
on Tweed and served the warrants on
him. It is stated that Tweed was taken
entirely by surprise at this unexpected
move, as his friends we're not aware that
examination before the grand jury had
been going on. The developments made
before the grand jury are stated to be
very comprehensive and important.
The indictments will be read in the Court
Of General Sessions to-day at eleven
o clock. Immediately after his arrest
Tweed was taken to the Metropolitan
Hotel by the sheriff and deputy, and
confined in q room under guardianship Of
the deputy sheriff. During the evening
he was visited by number of friends.
He will be arraigned at the Court Of
General Sessions to-day at eleven am.
and the question of bail will then be set
tied. Recorder Hackett will hold the
Court. Chas. 0'Conor will appear in
behalf of the people, assisted by Mr..
Darwin, and will doubtless make a great
effort to prevent the release Of Tweed
without sufficient bail II is said that
the indictment against Tweed has been
fully prepared for some days past.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Brennan
and deputy called at the Ludlow street
Jail, and, obtaining admission to Mr..
Connolly's room, informed him that they
had a warrant for his arrest on a erimi-
nal charge. The warrant was then de-
posted with the warden. 1t charges ;he
ex-Comptroller with gross misdemean-
ors. He will be arraigned, with Tweed,
before Recorder Hackett to-day. One
count Of the indictment charges Con-
molly with completely in a swindle against
the city Government amounting to $780,
900, and there are several others Of
equal magnitude.
Other indictments against Garvy, In
gersoll, and Woodward viii be submitted
to the Recorder to-day, and the further
investigation against others continue
promptly.

The Prince Of Wales has great te-
nacity Of life. sic still lives, and had
such physicians been in attendance as
we could name in Memphis. his recovery
would hardly be q matter Of doubt His
illness has excited universal sympathy.
The telegraph has reported every change
that has taken place in his condition.
Telegraphic bulletins announcing it have
been read with quite as much interest in
New York and St. Petersburg az in
London. 1t was not that he was 81 ply
mortal, that this interest was taken. It
was because he was heir to the throne
Of the freest monarchy in the world.
The country which he was to rule has
furnished mankind the brightest exam
pies of virtue and the highest develop
ment Of intellect. The fame of its arms
was over the earth, and the splendor
of its literature was the property
of the human race Every rood of its
soil was historic. 1t had either been
fought over or sung over. There,
had swungthe battle axe, there, had hur
ried on the fierce armies, and there, had
bled the hero, or there, the poet had rear
ed the fabric Of his verse The Prince
cf such country could not be in NOR
tai peril and not excite universal inter
est. Commerce felt a shock. The very
foundations Of the British monarchy
irembled. Society was too much in
clined already to become volcanic. The
death of SO important a person as the
Prince might wrench loose from its moor
ings what the poets delighted to call the
fast anchored Isle" Violent change Of
government might occur, and the hoard
ed passions Of years burst forth. A
revolution in one powerful State Of
Europe. in the present condition OF
popular sentiment, might not be CON
fined within its boundaries, but like a
resistless food pour on to others, and
ultimately involve all, Slight circum-
stances, slighter than that Of the death
of prince, have put the ball Of revolu-
ton in motion. II is, therefore, with
feelings of relief that the world hears Of
the probable recovery of the Prince Of
Wales, Whatever people may have
thought Of him before, his peril has
taught them to think kindly Of him, and
to hope that he viii recover his health

A Squatters' Paradise.

Difficulties over disputed land
titles have already begun to exer-
else the Chicagonians. On mon
day a party having secured from
the bona ide owner the least Of a
valuable lot set about removing
the debris, when he was confron-
ted by another claimant who had
already erected a frame shanty
upon one corner of the premises.
Called upon to show his title,
he exhibited a lease from a pre-
tended owner in Omaha. AL
though the title to the property
was known by common report to
rest in an entirely different per-
son, there is not the least posi-
bility Of proving it, and conse-
quently the squatter who claims
to have leased it from q man in
Omaha has as secure a claim as
though he had owned it for a
thousand years. By such means
the best lots in the burned dis
trict can be gobbled up by adven-
lures, and until legislative relief
is given there can be no way of
ousting them except by force.
The serious troubles of Chicago
have but just commenced.-St.

West Virginia All Right.

The telegraph, which energet-
ically spreads the news of a Re
publican victory at a Connecticut
township election, has had alb
solutely nothing to say about
West Virginia, where, on the
oath OF last month, the Democ-
racy swept almost every county,
including Berkely, which has
long been the seat of uncompro-
missing Radicalism. The election
was for members of the Legisla-
ture and delegates to a constitu-
tional convention, and has result
ed in a walk over. Grants ma
,jority in 1868 was S719. Now
according to the passivists, the
West Virginia Democracy, hav
ing just won splendid victory
should Immediately die.

1uCuIcs
The Taxpayers Convention
may do great deal towards the
organization spoken of above,
coming as the delegates probably
will, from every part of the State.
They may take steps looking to-
wards aud directing ward, county
and State organizations, which
will array and put in order the
full voting strength of the party,
and welcome into our ranks men
of every party and every color,
who hope for release from the Or
ganized robbery and the shame
less plunder of the party now in
power.
We cannot afford to be beaten,
or leave anything undone that
will secure us victory. Another
term of years Of plunder under
Radical rule, a still greater accu-
mutation Of debt upon our un-
happy State, and a consequent
increase of taxation upon an al
ready overburdened, oppressed,
wronged and outraged people,
and the cry of "blood OF bread"
may resound through our streets
and thoroughfares, to call forth a
suspension of the writ of h@be0s
corpus by the military head at
Washington, to inaugurate the
rule of third-rate lieutenants, and
the merciless trampling under
foot of the personal liberty OF our
people, as in '66 and '67, and
probably worse.
I confess that / fear that the
shameless perjury and gross ty-
ranny of bayonets, (which deprived
us of a Congressman in this Dis
trict in '6S, may wrest from us
the fruits of victory in '72, and
bring about the same results men,
toned above. But we must do
all that is in our power, do our
duty, and trust to God for the re-
suit. And all that we can do is
to perfect our organization and
bring out the whole voting
strength OF that portion of the
people who desire a prudent and
economical administration Of our
State government, as opposed to
the wild and reckless legislation
of the past few years.
I fear and feel that my answer,
hastily written, to your question
is not as full and satisfactory as
desirable, but I shall depend
greatly upon the prudence and
wisdom of the Convention to an
swer more satisfactorily.
Very truly and respectfully,
