Mayor Hall has resigned his mem
bership in the-Union club, in conse'
quence 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 reslg'.
nation.
The Tribune this morning says it is
certain that it is Tweeds design to re-
main concealed until he can lake his
seat in the Senate. This purpose h as
been suspected for some time, but 1t
will not save him from arrest, as 1t is
known that steps have already been
taken which will defeat this scheme,
and that he will be dislodged from his
concealment and re-arrested on a charge
graver than any yet made against him.
The Tribune says: Notwithstanding
all the assertions to the contrary,
Tweeds resignation not only as Grand
Sachem of the Tammsny Society has
been demanded, but even as member
Of that society. Az Tweed had signi-
| fed his desire to comply with this re.
quest, it is believed his resignation is
now in the hands of Mr.. Nicholson, who
refrains from making it public. The
Tribune continues; 1t very well under
stood that Tweed can't obtain bail. 1t
was stated yesterday that owing to his
com mplications it would be Impossible
for him to raise $25, 900 cash or obtain
security in 100000. There is probably
nothing left but flight or imprisonment.
The examination Of Tweeds bonds
men was resumed this morning.
The Grand Jury came into the Court
of General Sessions this morning, when
the foreman handed Judge Bedford a
paper, in which the jurors asked an ex'
tension OF time to the 9th Of January.
The Judge granted the request. The
paper was made public at the reqiest
of the members Of the Grand Jury. 1t
contains an order instructing the fore
man to ask the extension desired, as
the Grand Jury resolved not to pass on
municipal frauds during the session oil
the present Oyer and Terminer, the
Grand Jury being fully convinced that
auy indictments found by them during
its existence would be invalid, or give
rise to serious questions which might
defeat the ends Of justice. 1t. will be
seen from the above that the jury admit
that all the indictments found hereto
fore by them are invalid.
