HE CASES OF STOKES AND TWEED
How JURIEs ARE MANAGED IN New YORK.
The New York Herald gives the sub
stance Of an interview with Mr.. Lyman
Tramain, on the Stokes and Tweed cases,
which puts them in an Interesting light.
Referring to the Tweed case, Mr.. IRE
main said the ring still remained in
power in New York, by reason of the
laws already passed in their interest, aud
tho present mode Of summoning jurors
made mockery Of justice.
In 1870 tho ring passed law making
the commissioner of jurors the exclusive
Judge as to qualifications OF jurors. The
ring desired Stokes conviction, and
Jurors, remarkable for Intelligence aud
character, were drawn. The reverse Of
this is true in Tweed's case. OF this
jury ono had served year in the peni-
Tertiary, another was worthless loafer
| about the city, and was provided q new
suit of clothes for tho occasion, and u
third had openly boasted that he could
make good deal of money if lie could
get on the Boss trial.
Mr.. Trcmain added that seven of the
jury were for acquittal and five for con-
victiop- He mentioned the fact that of
the 100 men summoned on the Tweed
panel. orly twenty-nine appeared. from
which number the principal portion of
the jury was drawn. The remainder
subsequently appeared before the court
and showed that they mover had been
summoned at all, und they wore all ac-
cordingly excused from fines. These
latter were all remarkable for thoir in
teliigence and respectability. All Of
hcers who have anything to do with
obtnining juries are personal and politi-
cal friends of Tweed, aud it was through
their manipulations that the jury was
packed for Tweed's trial. Efforts to in
terviow the jurymen in Tweed's case,
ON Friday night, wero but partially sue
cessfui. They said that they had taken
q solemn oath, administered by one of
them, not to divulge the secrets of the
jury room. The prosecution have in
formation that some of the jury had
been tampered with, and it is probable
will take suitable action thereon.
Tweed on Friday night said his trial
was merely political one; that they
would never get q jury to convict him,
and he was tired of the business.
Judge Davis denied the motion of O
new trial Of Tweed, yesterday, on the
ground that the term of the court ex-
pires in few days, but intimated that
counsel for the prosecution could move
for trial on Monday next. This ends,
for the present. the prosecution OF
Tweed.

eou unty) court, House.

We observe that Mr.. Lowery, mem
ber OF tho House of Representatives
from Chesterfield. has presented pro-
test from some of the citizens Of Colum-
bia, against the appropriation by The
Legislature of any sum for the building
OF Court House. A bill has boon
framed, in conformity with the dire otions
OF the County Commissioners, to levy q
tax on the County of three mills, to be
collected in two years, one and a half
each year, to raise fund for such Court
House. The facts are, as We understand,
that the Commissioners have pold the
old Court House ground, aud brick Of
tho old building, for S25. 900, and after
purchasing new lot, have at their COM
mand about $40. 1000 for the new build
ing. This is enough, in all conscience
We assure the Legislature that we have
had taxes enough, and that no more nre
needed to raise the fund required. The
Commissioners have plenty in hand.

Another Shrek from Kansas.


Another Shrek from Kansas.
We all remember "bleeding Kansas" E"
and the CONTEST about peopling it when
territory, and the exclusion Of Southern
men from it. because they were slave
holders. ;. Pious persons, like Henry
Ward 2eocher, led the crusade, and sub
soribed the rifles and funds whioh should
be, and were, used to keep them out.
It was settled under such unhappy in
auenoes as these, aud the crop OF charac-
ter, and the tone among the public men,
correspond to the original seeds thus
planted in the soil. They have reached
the highest heights, or the lowest depths.

legislative bribery and corruption. Cald-

as the latter testifies, for 315. 600. aud
whose case is yet before Congress, is

Another venerable sinner, who hus

ciety. as Senator from Kansas, is s. G.
Pomeroy. He came confidently before
their Legislature, last week, for ro cleo
ton. He was little damaged, or re-
commended, we hardly know which, by
q corrupt letter to a MIR. Ross, relating
to profits in Indian goods. He denied
the authenticity of this document, how
ever, and went In to win. On the first
ballot he ran ahead OF all competitors.
1t became necessary for the opposition
to resort to an extraordinary ruse to
circumvent and defeat him. Mr.. York,
a Senator from Montgomery County,
was selected to act as the decoy.
He visited Pomeroy's ICONS, in the dark
and secret recesses of the Taft House,
and bareained away his vote for SO. 600
Of which $4,000 were paid that night,
ST, 600 the next afternoon, and ST., 900
more were promised to be paid when
the vote should be cast in his favor. The
denoue,,em came dramatically, by Sena-
tor York's exposure of the whole thing,
and placing the money upon tho chief
clerks desk. He demanded that Pome-
roy's actions in the contest be thoroughly
examined. and the corruption money
which he had just deposited be the in
stfdment of retribution in prosecuting
the investigation. He added:
1tsThe statements have made arc but

Tho Atlanta lottor of the Savannah

Toombs: A singular and amusing Incl
dent occurred on yesterday afternoon.
just about dusk General Toombs and
John I. Hall, Esq, were oonversing in
front of the Hi Kimball, General r..
standing with his back to the street. In
few minutes the carriage of Governor
Brown dashed up with the Governor.
He Immediately stepped out. The
crowds about the front of the hotel
hushed their talk and looked on with
bated breath as tho two lions neared each
other. There was no tearing of names,
no ripping of hides, no orunching of
bones. The ex General did not see the
Ex-Governor. The latter grasping Hall
with his left hand at the same time e1-
tended his right and took the hand OF
General Toomhs. and shaking COM
menccd all around. AS Governor Brown
spoke. General Toombs turned. Co.
vernon Brown at once observed II took
you for Judge McCay." General Toombs
replied: "a mutual mistake, sir" and
the interview closed. As Hall is geno-
rally regarded as the Mephistophe Of
Georgia politics, who has dazed every
one, even to his Excellency. with the
rapidity and variety of his movements.
there is suspicion that his fertile in
eenuity put mp this little play in order
to open the way for a reconciliation
between two avowed strangers. Who

Another venerable blow-hald' comes
to the front with contaminated fingers.
General Shoot,him- op 4Rpot Dix,
whose reverend aspect reminds one OF
the old fellow in the Vicar of Wakefield,
who talked theology to DIR. Primrose
and traded lot of grsen speotacles to
Moses in exchange for the pony. Horace
Clark, President of the Union Pacific
Railroad, states that while General Dix
was Minister to Paris he received $50, 900
from the railroad company, in considera-
ton of which sum he was to negotiate
the bonds Of tho road in Franco. It was
disgraceful for an American Minister to
engagein transaction of such a nature
1t was compromise of his official
dignity and honor to engage in bond
brokerage. But Mr. Clark says that he
not only took the $50, 900 and held on to
it, but did not negotiate the bonds.
Not satisfied with this juicy plum, he
extorted $25, 900 for two months SER
vices as President OF the Erie Railroad
which was at the rate of $3.50, 900 year.
He seems to have been in fair way to
rival Jay Gould and Jim Fisk as cob.
bier Of railroad money. This man is
the model Governor OF New York,
whose holy hands are to sprinkle q
sanctimonious dew of publication over
the places profaned by the wickedness
of his predecessor. Who comes next?
