Mr.. Peckham--We all agree that no imputations
are cast upon the Court as now constituted.
What the press has said, as referred to by the
other side, we have nothing now to do. AS 10
these indictments, lt is but fair TO mysel to say
thatI
NEVER SAW THE INSIDE OF THEM
till this morning. The District Attorney 10 unable
ana am unable, to say whether or not the MOTION
of counsel the other side is well founded or not
or whether the items are the same. Our attention
was never directed to It, and, according to the
aflldavit read by counsel, they on the other slde
don't know.
Judge Braly-speaking and looking as u the
whole thing the ignorance OF counsel on all the
material points to be prosecuted and legally argued
upon by them, was something new and refreshing
to mis- legal and judicial mind-cut the Attorney
Generals substitute, Peckham, short, to counseps

all necessary time to make yourself acquainted
with your case and to look into It, II the rep
reservations OF counsel on the other side are cor
rect to those indictments, upon all the principles
OF law the indictments
MUST BE QUAsHED.n
Mr.. Bartlett, associate counsel for the defence,
hoped that the Court would give these four or five
Attorney Generals with the District Attorney, liD-
eral time to consider whether there was really
ANYTHING to convict Tweed for.
Mr.. Peckham replied to the pleasant sneer with
which this suggestion was thrown out with an
other not near so pleasant, replying that prOfered
service was not always fragranty acceptable.
The Court adjourned further proceedings In the
case till tomorrow.

THE POLITICAL. SITUATION.
Counsel said 1t was certainly very painful TO
him that there should be any misunderstanding
between the District Attorney ana himself. When
his client called on him to ascertain the probable
time when his trial would take place, he called on
the District Attorney and asked MIN when ne would
move the to trial. He stated the result OF the
interview mis- Client and Mr. Fields left the city
but he had already stated he did not know where
he had gone or how long he would be absent. There
was no opportunity now of presenting s-afildavit

postponement OF the trial was asked the absence OF
Mr.. Fields was not mentioned. He remembered Mr..
Pcckham saying that he believed they would move

not believe that would satisfy the public demand,
and that II they moved on first TO tlla the case OF

JUDGE BRADY EXPLAINS THE NATTER
Judge Brady said that 1t was proper for him to
say that the charge of his being uniricndy to Mr.;
Fields was totally unfOunded. He was surprised
that any weight should be given TO random news
paper rumOrs. Az to the present application 10
was not strengthened by the AFFIDAVIT sub
mitted. Mr.. Fields had left the city, and
had not told his counsel of his inten- item
ton to go or where he was going. This
was certainly suspicious circumstance The rule
OF law required that an application for the post
ponement OF q trial must be made by himself unless
he was abroad This Court could not be employed
for oppression but the rules law must be strictly
complied with. The present application was not
wIthin any known rule. Mr.. Fields must appear on
the record. He would put the case down for trial
on the 23d Of this month.

and prosperity; and the information is
that the officers of the road are shaping
their course toward carrying the sug-
gestion into effect. EF
The bridge and railroad ought to be
and are inseparably connected. In
your editoriel Of March 9Th you struck
the keynote when you said:
1--WE cannot doubt that sucha bridge
would be, in a few years, the gateway
through which would flow an immense
traffic from the Northwest, connecting
here with the Baltimore and Ohio to
the East. With the line from Toledo
connecting with the Hemp6eld when
finished through, this bridge would be
the connecting link in the shortest line
that can ever be built between the
Northwest and the Chesapeake Bay.
The profits of bridge under such cir
cumstances, not limited as to its tolls
except by the necessities OF the railroads
using it, could not fail to be very great"
What you say as to profits, while
true of the bridge, is equally true Of
such a road as mentioned. The stock
of the city in each enterprise would,
80 far as we can now see, be 30 good
that the city would gain the advantages
of each, without any actual outlay
A subscription Of $3OO,O 600 to the
road by the city furnishes basis under
the terms of the contract by which
81 ,O5O,OOO will be secured toward the
construction and equipment Of the road,
OF which it proposes togive back to the
bridge 100000. This, then, will fur
nish stock basis for the bridge OF
100000, upon which 100000 or $4OO,'
900 bonds may be issued. Every
friend of Wheeling ought to see that
this is her golden opportunity for
securing both railroad bridge and a
railroad to the northwest
Let me add a word respecting the
unfair remark made by the Chairman
of the Finance Committee in moment
OF passion, few evenings since, in re-
spect to the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad. The same gentleman had
SalQ d lew tuOlhChto pSiolC thoS hS
knew but little about either railroad,
and was ashamed of his ignorance.
And the Council evidently took him at
his word, for they voted unanimously
against him. But why is the Chairman
Of the Finance Committee singled out
as authority rather than the Chairman
of the Committee on Railroads, which
has something to do with this question
and the chairmen of fourteen other
committees out of nineteen, and six out
of eight members of the Finance Com
mittee, all of whom were as much in
favor of this measure as the Financial
Chairman was against it. They were
men who had taken proper steps to
form opinions before they expressed
them.
1t seems to me "the gentlemen who
have the matter in charge have come
up and put the subject in a fair way,
giving information as to every detail
but have no doubt any sincere seeker
after truth like Railroad Man" can
get all the information he wants (and
probably more) by applying to the
officers of the railroad or the Chairman
Of the Council Railroad Committee.
