| THE TwOMgLy.cAREY CAsE-REPoRTED BRIBERY
AND CORRUPTION AMONG THE DEMOCRATIC MEN,
BEERS.
| There are some very ugly rumors afoat to-day
| concerning the Carey -Twombly case, which are
creating little uneasiness In certain circles They
may have no foundation In truth, but the simple
fact that they have given rise to considerable
discussion and conjecture gives them 9 sort
OF piausibiiity which they otherwise would not
possess. They are the effect that two democrats
have offered to vote against carey in consideration
OF certain value received, and that third has
given 1t out that he has made up his mind TO vote
for Twombiy on the evidence already heard before
the committee. i repeat that all this Is but
rumor and give it merely for what 1t
| 10 worth. I can however. state as positive
| fact that bet was made by New York republican
| and democrat this afternoon that TwOmbly would
get vote from one democrat and that the republi-
can was the FIRST to proner the bet. AS the case
stands 1t Will require every democratic vote in the
House to adopt the majority report OF the committee
when presented. Under the circumstances it is
| not to be wondered at that the leaders should be
little uneasy over the rumors that have been set
ahoat, and that much anxiety is expressed concern
ing the safe return 10 the capital OF two three
| New York members, who were allowed to 60 to
| your city to-day on twentyfOnr hours leave.
| OF course the majority OF the committee
| can hold back their report which they
were expected TO make to-day, but did not,
until all the democrats are on deck but then they
know that there is many slip between the cup and
the lip and that sickness has often before caused

There win be another big fight to morrow In the
Senate over
THE ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION,
which will come up for final disposal. Last week
they failed to get through as the vote on the ques-
ton stood twelve TO twelve. i have 1t from good
authority that the democrats have arranged their
plans 30 Wen that they win be certain OF carrying
the day once the battle has begun.
THE RAPID TRANSIT QUEsTIoN--A RAILROAD
AVENUE.
The question OF rapid transit between New York
and Wesichester promises to assume some tangible
shape. After full and Tree consultation with mem.
bdrs Of both houses Senator Genet has
prepared a biz to harmonic the conflicting
opinions, which Will, he thinks, meet with
general approval. It's principal feature is that it
provides for the cutting through the block bounded
by Broadway and Fourth avenue-a space OF 100
feet or more-for grand railroad avenue to run in
the Harlem river, and from thence into
| some central point in Westchester county,
| ana 10 lay upon the surface, SIX or
more tracks for the transfer Of way passengers by
horse power. Over this surface road which will not
interfere with the passage OF pedestrians or officials
from side streets across, Will be a sub or elevated
| avenue OF the same width, and Sufficient tracks 10
run as many
FAST STEAM TRAINS
from one end OF the island to another, may be
CURED The bill will also drive from the city all the
| present steam roads and establish central depot
for them at the terminus OF this avenue in West
chester. AL this depot the steam roads must have
their terminus ana their passengers and freight
| down to the city on this elevated avenue. 1t will
also provide for the bonding OF the counties OF New
| York and Weslchester TO raise money to complete
| the work.
| sTAY-AT-HoME PATRIOTS.
| There were great many enthusiastic patriots in
the State OF New York during the late "onpleasant-
ness'' with our hayward brethren Of the South.
! They were divided into two classes-those who
went TO the war and those who did not go becau Sc
| they had money enough to buy substitute. The
majority OF the first class never returned to their
homes. Tine majority OF the second class are now de-
slrous OF bringing up afresh all the old scenes Of
the days that tried many mems souls ana many
