ANOTHER CLEANING NEEDED

The conviction of William NJ. Tweed.
Wednesday, of two hundred and four dis
tinct acts of misfeasancc and malfeasance
in oilicc-in fact of so many different acts
OF robbery-was a significant indication of
the almost complete ending of the rule of
the Hall, Tweed, Sweeney, Connolly re-
gime. The same day, however, witnessed
other sights, which demonstrated that their
power and influence was not, as vet, en-
trcly overthrown, and that the Augean
stables of New York city politics need n
SUI more thorough cleaning AS one illus
tratlon, might be cited the distinguished
consideration with which Sheriff Brennan.
creature of the ring, approached his illus
'rlous prisoner. The President of the
United States could not have been treated
win greater respect, or treated with such
Sychophantic condescension and fawninr
politencss, than Sheriff Brennan accorded
to the convicted felon, who. if he should
live for six generations of the average Of
life, could not serve out in the states prison
or pcniientiary, the penalty awarded by the
law for his high crimes. 1t is this sheriffs
department that needs clearing ont. and re-
qures most thorough cleansing. On the
same day that Tweed was convicted. VIII

escaped from the "Tombs,' with the con-
niyance, it would scem-and so the warden
admits and believes of more or less of the
keepers and attaches of the prison. When
we recall the fact that the warden. keeners
and all of the employees Of the prison. de-
rived their present power and position from
the ring, the ease with which the escape
was effected is readily accounted for. On
Sunday, the first day Of September, 1872,
in drinking saloon in the city of NewYork
Sharkey deliberately shot to death one Rob
ert ). Dunn, because the latter was unable,
at that time, to repay some six hundred
dollars of borrowed money. For this crime
he had been convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be hung, but
n stay of execution was obtained on a
writ of error" which is still pending and
undecided. Both the assassin and his vic
tim were prominent politicians under Tam
many rule, but Dunn could do no more
good, while Sharkey might be useful, for
years to come, if he could but escape the
clutches of the law, in primaries and Or
ganizing repeaters. Dunn was known as a
''dealer' in gambling saloon and, at the
same time, received salary of fifteen hun
dred dollars year for nominal services in
the comptroller's office. Sharkey was a
leader among the eighth ward politicians,
and SO influential that one of the political
clubs of the city bore his name, while his
importance was still further acknowledged
by the fact that he was a member of every
democratic political club in the fifth con-
gressional district of New York-represent-
ed in the last and present Congress by Will

is very important and significant one.
To illustrate a forged check is presented
to one of our banks, by stranger, and
paid. Upon discovery of the forgery, the
stranger is pursued, arrested, and refunds
the money, claiming that he received the
check in good faith, and had L cashcd
without suspicion that 1t was forged.
How quickly is this pretence scattered,
when it is discovered that the man is
travelling under an assumed name. We
know, then, that he is guilty of fraudulent
intent, and his change of name is a sub
stantial admission thereof So this change

An important step toward the prevention

An important step toward the prevention
of panics, and compulsory suspensions on
the part of banks and bankers, was
broached at the meeting of bank officers,
in New York city, Thursday. If they
would carry the principle into practical
operation, and never deviate from the rule
that no check should be certified unless
there was the actual currency or deposit
with which to meet it, q long stride would
he taken in the right direction. 1t has
long been the practice with some city
banks to certify their customers checks
with or without security. as the case might
be--upon the tacit understanding that n
deposit should be made before the close of
banking hours. This course caused the
temporary suspension Of more than one
banking institution during the panic, re-
srlting in permanent loss in many in
stances. Even deposit of securities
would not render bank safe, for il must
pay the money at once, while time may be
required to realize on the securities, even
at a loss. An actual deposit is the only
safe way

The widest rumors were in circulation
in New York, during Thursday, as to the
whereabouts of Boss Tweed. Some had it
that, accompanied by his two custodian
deputy sheriffs, he had decamped and was
on his way toward Canada, while others dc
posted him safely in Ludlow street Jail
Sheriff Brennan, into whose custody Judge
Davis gave the Boss, stated that his illus
trous prisoner was safe and sound, and
would be forthcoming on Saturday morn
ing. Where he was or what he was doing.
Mr. Brennan positively declined to state,
and added that the public might make
themselves easy as to Mr. Tweeds safety.
lie (Brennan) was responsible to the coun-
ty for him, and he would take care that he
was on hand when called for. 1t is stated
on good authority, that Tweed was locked
up in his office all day with his counsel, ar
ranging his affairs, so as to be prepared for
the worst in case he is sentenced and or
dered to be sent to Blackwell's Island.

BOTH BREAKING DOWN.


a draft of fifty convicts went from Sing
Sing prison to Auburn, Wednesday even
ing. The authorities intended that Stokes
and Walworth should have been among
the number, but the serious illness of both
prevented their removal for the present
Stokes is uneasy under prison rule and was
greatly alarmed when informed by the
warden that he must 90 to Auburn prison.
Walworth has become melancholy in
the extreme since the novelty of prison life
has passed, and has settled down to the mo-
notony Of tramping from the mess room to
the workshop, and thence to his gloomy
cell, lie appears TO have felt the stern re-
allty OF prison discipline, but is very quiet
and submits promptly to the rules of the
prison. lie never speaks unkindly of any
one, and answers all questions in a gentle
tone of voice, but when lett to himself ap-
pears overwhelmed with sorrow and re-
morse. lie has lost all freshness of coun-
tenance and seems to be breaking down
rapidly in health.
Last Sabbath, while Stokes was in the
chapel, he was seized with vertigo, and had
to be assisted to the hospital. Medicine
was administered and he retired to his cell.
preferring its couch of straw to hospital
treatment Since then he has been suffer
ing from pleurisy, and is, on the whole, a

life he has the appearance of an old man.

nothing when compared to his mental

Whnt Is said About shnritcy's Es-


Great energy is being eXerted by the po-
lice authorities to bring about the rearrest
of Sharkey. Officers have been stationed
at all the depots and on each side of all the
ferries Every vessel about TO leave for
Europe will be searched It is thought,
however, that the escaped prisoner is in
New York city. Maggie Jordan, his afli-
anccd, who visited him almost every day in
his prison, when arrested and brought to
the Tombs, had no explanation to make.
AS she was conducted through the ward she
said it was the first happy day she had
known since Sharkeys conviction. She
and the wife of ewes" Allen, with whose
admission ticket Sharkey escaped, are con
fined in separate apartments of the women's
prison, where all intercourse with them is
strictly forbidden by the warden The only
examination offered by Mrs. Allen is that
the ticket must have been picked from her
pocket.
District Attorney Phelps says the casc is
being cnergetically investigated. but ne will

has no theory of the escape beyond such
sllrmlses as any one may make from the
published facts. Phillips is stationed in
the centre of the second tier or 'murdcrcr's
row, and could readily see any person en-
tcring or coming out of the cells. should he
happen to be looking toward the right end
of the tier. How the cell door was opened
or how the bundle Of clothing could have
been passed into the cell he says he is utter
~ unable to explain. Judge Sutherland.
