good doal Of roal opsatn, lo In not loly to got 1t
back again - his friends ovidontly believing
thnt it ia no crimo to- steal what
has been stolen. His conversion OF largo part
Of his property into cash lhs boen mado at ruin
ors rntcB, which, with tho vast suma lc has
spent in bribery, and other means to defeat tho
ends Of juBtice, has caused q remarkable curtail-
mont Of his estate. Three yoars ngo, he was
estimated to DO worth 97,00o, 900 or $4,000 0000,-
,oms peraons placing it rs high aa $4,000, 900.
To-day, those who ought to know atato That
Tweed Lau not, all told moro than $700,000;
though how ho has gotten rid OF tile balance Of
his fortune, thoy do not pretend to explain.
That the OK Dictator has beon robbed right and
left, worry much In tho Gamo mannor that he
robbed tho Treasury, can hardly be doubted. He
has found contrary to tho provorb, that honor
does not exist among thioyes; and that he, tho
prince Of purloinorR, has been magnihcontly
plundered by those who, from a community Of
acoun1rolinn, ought to have stood BY lin in his
days Of darkness and Of trial. He issaia tooom :
plain very bitterly of the n1nnnor in which ho has
been troatcd by those whom ho has assisted to
all tho prosperity they enjoy. 1Io B not tho frat
man who has sn1forod precisely in this manner,
nor will ho be tho last. Nearly all the Tammany
officials Uoro, md are such sot Of Villains TINT
they would not hesitate to sloal from friends and
foes alike.
il is certainly startling fact that man hav-
ing wealth to tho o1tent Of nearly s7,000,G00
seyen yours ago, Should possess now only as
many hundreds Of thousands. It euforcos d
good moral II moral bo needed, and Is q fino
specimen Of poetic Justice. To him who hath, it
shall DO given, and from him WHO steala, 1t
Hhnll be stolen.

quentiy, instead Of bringing them in debt about
$500, as thcy had believed ho would, ho puts up
their obligation to somo $4,000. This satn tloy
refuae to pay-lolding not only that it is . great
deal moro than ha nsBurod them it would be, but
TINT ho has not logltimatcly disposed ot any such
number OF books ns ho protonds They claim
that ho las either sold tho work for q nominal
amount, Or has given It away, which llo could
afford to do, because he would charge about So

Tho result Of nil this is, that tho publisher has
instituted loyal proceedings against lis alver-
tisors, and they denounco him in no atintod
terme.
