NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-CharleS OCOnor, last
evening, stated that he would recover three and
half million dollars from Tweed in civil suit.
Several more removals OF sinecuriSts were
made by Controller Green, yesterday
AT meeting of the contractors for work I'M
der the patronage of Tweed'S department. last
evening, acOmmittce OF ten was appointed TO
wait on the controller to ascertainHwhen they
can ret about two million dollars they ullcge is
due them.
VIM. NJ Tweed, this morning, advanced $20,-
600 TO pay the small pipe men employed ON the
Croton works.

trOler TO confer in relation to the sums due
them. Mr.. Green informed them that the con-
tracts were being looked into, and as each was
found correct it would be paid
Mcssrs. O'COnOr, EvartS and Field are closet
ed to-day periecting papers in the Tweed case.
The developments printed in the morning papers
and which were transmitted to the eastern press
last night create considerable excitement in the
city.
To-day's ring revelations form the general
topic of conversation, though they were over
Swallowed by Charles 0COnor's speech few
days ago. rhe Tribune says the proofs of
Twccds theft are overwhelming. The Sun
heads the revelations, Going down at last"
The Times says the monster thief is finally
brought to bay. Facts and exhibits make a
strong prtRd fdcie case against Mr. Tweed. The
evidence seems sufficient to convict him in
public estimation at least of gigantic rObberieS
of the county treasury. Whatever NAV be the
legal result of the impending prosecution the
moral verdict of the community is not uncer-
tain. Nobody can doubt that Mr.. Tweed is
public rObher. Tilden's investigation lets in a
flood of light. hatconvcnient tool and man of
straw, woodward, not only made many deposits
in the bank, but from time TO time at frequent
intervals drew checks against those deposits.
Woodlands checks tell singular story. Wood
wi Il,
dollars and cents, and on the very same day
Tweed makes deposit in the bank of precisely
the same amount dollar for dollar, cent for cent
without fraction of variation.
The next day, or a day or two after, Wood
ward draws another check, and on the very same
day Tweed makes another deposit exactly equal
in amount to Woodlands check. This bust
ness goes on for months, with the same precise
and curious correspondence between the figures
of WoOdward's checks and the figures of Twced's
simultaneous deposits. The conclusion is ire
sistible that the money originally deposited by
Woodward was Tweed'S money dishonesty ac-
quired, deposited in bank in fraudulent name
under false pretense, and restored to the real
owners by WOOdward'S checks. How else could
it have happened in scores of instances, that the
exact amount to cent which was checked out
by Woodward was. on the very same day, de-
posted to the credit of Tweed? To suppose
that such person as Woodward owned the
three or four millions which he deposited is pre-
posterOus, and the exact correspondence between
his checks ana Tweed'S deposits day by day and
dollar for dollar, diScloSes the real owner of that
part of the money amounting to about mil
lion dollars thus checked out by Tweed in less
than four mouths, dating from the early part of
May, 1870.
No order for the arrest of Tweed had been
served late this afternoon, but dispatch from

Judge of the supreme court, and intends to Sc
lect New York county for the trial.
