derstood that Tweed cannot obtain bail.
1t was stated yesterday that owingto his
complications, it would be impossible Tor
him to raise $4,000 cash, or obtain Sc
curity in 100000. There is probably
nothing left but flight or imprisonment.
It is reported that Judge Bedford and
the grand jury are busily engaged in

that Mr.. O'Connor is sedulously oppos-

NEW York, December 2s.-William
Tweeds counsel will appeal to the gen.

Learned's decision refusing a reduction

appeal to the same court at the same

Mayor Hall has resigned his member
ship in the Union Club in consequence
Of the bitter feeling existing against him
among the members, by reason Of his
connection with the Ring. Tomorrow
evening a meeting Of the Club was to
have been held to consider his expulsion,
but he anticipated their probable action
by sending in his resignation.
The Tribune this morning says it is
certain that it is Tweeds design to re-
main concealed until he can take his
seat in the Senate. His purpose has
been suspected for some time, bat II will
not save him from arrest. Steps have
already been taken which will defeat
this scheme, and he viii be dislodged
from his concsalment and re-arrested on
a charge graver than any Jet made
against him.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, December 28.-The fol-
lowing particulars concerning the loss Of
the steamer Florida off Mobile have been
received. The Florida was chartered by
the New Orleans, Florida and Havana
Steamship Co., and left this port on
Thursday evening, the 2lst inst, with q
full cargo Of assorted merchandise for
Apalachicola and Cedar Keys. She
crossed Pass Loutere bar on Friday
morning at eight o'clock, the wind being
south southeast and blowing freshly.
At four clock pm. the wind and sea
increased, and at eleven pm. water be-
gan to gain on the pumps which had
previously been kept working to keep
her free. SO rapidly did the water gain
that at quarter past eleven p m. Cap
tain Pendleton determined to make for
the nearest land, which was Mobile
Point and kept her north northwest
for the light, distant about fifty miles.
The water ceatinued to gain alarmingly
in spite of every effort, but the captain
hoped he might be able to beach
her before the fires were put out.
Saturday was ushered in with fresh
gale from the south and heavy sea.
All hands were put to work bailing and
throwing the cargo overheard. At five
thirty a. m. the fires we're put out by the
water, and the ship losing Roadway was
brought to and lay in the trough Of the
sea at the mercy Of the waves. At eight
s.m. there were eight feet of water in
the hold, and all hopes of saving the
ship we're abandoned. The Offices and
crew twenty-five Pe.sonsl then took to
the boats, three In number, and made
for the land, which was fifteen miles
distant. At one o'clock pm. a landing
was effected about twenty miles to the
eastward Of Fort Morgan. One of the
boats was swamped in the breakers in
endeaVoring to land, and one man, the
chief cook, Reed (coIored), was drowned
in the surf. Several officers just es-
capped similar fate, one, the chief en-
gineer, Mr.. Curry, being drawn out by
seaman almost insensible. Her cargo
consisted principally of sugar, molasses
and -four, and was fully insured in yari-
Gus home and foreign companies. There
was, unfortunately, no insurance on the
vessel, which was owned in this city.

THE TENNESSEE BOUNTY FRAUDS.

The Washington Chronicle oil lhurs-
day says: "In the Criminal Court yes
terdny, Hon. W. B. Stokes, Michael
strohmeier aud G. Victor Powell,
charged with completely in the Tennes-
see bounty frauds, appeared, and through
their counsel, entered plea of not
guilty. The prosecution desired that the
case of Powell, for receiving money
while a Government officer, be tried on
the Both Of January; W. b. Stokes,
receiving money on account of claim
while a member of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes on FEBRUARY 6, and the case
of Stokes, Powell, Stroheimer and the
Beattys in the latter part of February.
Mr.. Riddle, for the defense, objected to
the prosecution fixing the day of trial.
The Court remarked that the defense
could not be forced to go to trial unpre-
pared. Mr.. Riddle said that if the con-
spiracy case was the last one TO be tried
the Court would not be troubled with 1t;
and to an inquiry of that gentleman,
Mr.. Harrington said that he did not ex-
meet the first case to occupy more than
a week, but that some of the embezzle-
ment cases would be brought mp to fill
the intervals between the trials above re-
ferred to.

REPUBLICANIsM.

Some philosopher who has reflected
anon the condition of Republicanism in
ENGLAND, draws nice and subtle dis
,;nct;on between the Republican ideas of
France and England. He says: 1T is
curious to note the different effect which
tbe Republican idea has in an English
ond a French brain. The one it makes
crazy; the other it makes earnest. The
Go, that all France, or at least that part
ofit which has the strongest lungs, clam
ora for government by the people,
Cor the people," and when it has gained
~ object at least in outward appearance,
!. continually dissatisfied at its manifold
variations from the ideal type, and does
nat give any one an assurance that 1t will
not accent a monarchy again after
few months of turbulent freedom,
M more free than the despotism it has
thrown off, Indeed any one with a pro-
rsnsitv for betting would be inclined to
Give odds that the French republic will
not last, and yet the French people have
a vast deal of enthusiasm for that form
Of government, and are ready to die in
the attempt to establish it at any conve-
nieut moment No one doubts that they
will establish it at every opportunity,
hut everybody doubts whether they will
keen that or any other form of polity for
a generation together. With the Eng
lish the case is entirely different. The
doubt is whether they will ever establish
a republic at all; but if they should sue
coed in doing away with tne costly pa
eeant of throne and royal household
they would be sure to lay the foundation OF
their new government deep and strong,
and the fabric raised thereon will abide
The fact that there is strong feeling in
England in favor of Republic, which
is spreading and uttering itself on every
convenient occasion, is far more sig
nifcant circumstance than similar
phenomenon would be in France. 1t is
not so likely to swell to a paroxysm anc
then subside, but will doubtless move Oh
steadily towards its purpose, to be check
ed only when it 6uds a stronger feeling
opposing it that will not give way
Should it find such feeling 1T
tide will stop and possibly recede
but there is little probability tina
it will involve the ship OF stat
in a storm of revolution. Revolution
in England have been rare because the.
are brought about by the predominatinI
wish of the people as a whole, and TO
the same reason they are permanent
their results. That the British govern
ment may gradually be more and NOR
assimilated to republican form by n
moving one after another of the orn'
ments and shows of royalty, as the pr
negatives of kingly power have bee
taken away in times past. is not alt
gether improbable; but no sane ma
looks for sudden and thorough-goin
revolution during The present gener'
alton.
