Judge LaIned, of New York, yesterday !. -ued
an order FOR the arrest of William NJ. Tweed.
The II .bUTe in sPnm'ng up the operations of
Tweed, Connolly, Sweeny, and Hall during the
four year. o. their o.CisI i e says Tweed began
bankrupt and yet he's dealt in real estate On
private account TO the amount of s4,f4,95
within Three years. Mr.. Connolly, who in 1885,
swOre that he owned no PROF crty, has since
bought real estate and bonds to the amount of
$3.50, Col. Mr.. Peter b. Sweeny has invested
81 AZ, 736, and Mayor Hall s15O,OO0 In addition
Il the amount above stated Mr.. Tweed has ex-
pended aome Two and half millions in yarious
ways. Ii appears from evidence given by Samuel
d. Tilden and placed in the hands of Mr.
O'ConOr, Acting Attorney General of the State,
on which the prosecution against Tweed is
based, that the whole number of warrants drawn
betScen the 9th of May and the LIST of Septem-
her, 1870, in favor of, and paid to, IngersoIl,
Carney, Woodward and Others of -" the ring,
amounted to S6y312, tn-37, nearly all of which
was paid on fraudulent vouchers. Itappears by
Mr.. Tilden's affidavit that Mr.. Tweed did not
even take the trouble o: making out the ordinary
bank statement that accompanies a deposit.
when he deposited the money received from
Woodward, and that Woodward, who has trans
ferred his properly and fed to Europe, did the
work for him. 1t is al. o said that Tweed will be
proved a partner in the New York Printing
Company, which docs all the printing work; the
Transcript Company, which prints the official
adver, sements; and the Manufacturers Sta
OneTs' Association, which furnishes the STA
OneTy and boots.

This trade, aod indeed after a. time all the

be done through Portland. This line is the
shortest the quickest and the cheapest, that now
is, or that can be found hereafter.
The harbor AMI port charges, and the ex-

no port can compete with this-when New

always open.
