New York Getting too Hot for Tweed
-Preparattons for Flight Severe
Storm OF Sandy Hook.


There are rumors current that
Tweed is meditating flight. The
Bureau Of Municipal Corporation,
composed of Charles O'Connor and
his associates in the prosecution Of
the city plunderers, have information
to this effect. ..
In view Of his having transferred 30
SO much Of his properly, tho over
whelming evidence against him, as
we'll in reference to the Erie Railway
frauds as those against the city, it is
contemplated on the part of the At
torney General to ask an increase of
bail. As yet no answer has been put
in in Tweed's case no notice of ap
pearaDce received.
The Democratic Reform Committee
have evidence that IL, 900 fraudulent
votes were counted Tuesday. They
expect to punish thirty six reporters,
who are already under surveillance.
There is evidence against the police.
The latest election reports give
the Republicans ninety-eight votes
in the Assembly against thirty Demo.
Gratis.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the alleged election frauds
in Brooklyn, arc said to have made
startling discoveries. Their testi.
mony will not be made public until
action is taken against tho guilty
parties.

Alexander Frcar said yesterday
that even if he was not counted ont
OF his seat in the Legislature, he
would not take 1t. He added that
no Tammany Democrat who had
been elected to the State Senate or
Legislature would 60 to Albany this
winter.
The probability of Tweed fleeing
from the city is still the subject Of
much discussion. 1t is stated on re.
liable authority that be has about
perfected his arrangements for the
flight and that any moment NAV
witness his departure. Yesterday
he was said to be trying to dispose
of bis stock in the Erie Rsilway.
Well informed Tammanyites think
it will take him some time to render
portable his great wealth, but it is
definitely known that most, il not
all Of his property has been under
going conversion into greenbacks
for long while past, and that bis
many assignments make it a matter
easy with him to leave on short no.
tice.
Tweed's resignation is believed to
DO IN the hand Of Mayor Hall, and
will probably be made public in a few
days. No selection has vet been
made to fill his place, though the
Mayor has been endeavoring to force
the Office upon several.
There is much difficulty in Obtain.
ing men to accept any Of the vacant
Offices under Tammany since the
election. The Mayor has been un.
able to get persons to take any Of
tho several important places recently
made vacant. There is 80 little time
between now and the meeting of the
legislature, when it ia expected that
the whole government of the oitv
Will be recast, that it is likely the
vacancies now existing will continue
until that time.
