The next week Tweed's charter was in
troduced, and, receiving the support of
all the Republican Senators excepting
Thayer, of Rensselaer,, 1t passed. This
was followed by other measures which
made the power of the Ring well-nigh
absolute. 1t was then that the system
of plunder began to work out its amaz-
ing results. Bills against the city were
deliberately raised from $50, 900 to $780,
600 and the enormous excess divided be-
tween Connolly and Tweed, who in turn
shared part of the money with the SUBJ
ordinate strikers. Hall looked on and
held his peace, Sweeney put forth an
effort to stop the stealing, but was over
borne. The accounts OF the Comptroll-
er's Office were secreted aud the general
public, as well as the Democratic party,
were hood winked and misled.
Among those who sought to profit in
the general carnival of fraud, was Jas.
O'Brien. who, as Sheriff of New York.
had received upward of $500, 200 for
three years service. After retiring
from office he cooked up bogus claim
aggregating to $500. 600, and demanded
its payment. The Board of Audit re-
fused to consider 1t, although Tweed es-
poused O'Brien's bad cause. So. to
strengthen his chances of getting the
money, O'Brien placed confidential
clerk i'll the Comptroller's Office, and
secured transcripts of the fraudulent
vouchers therein contained. Armed
with these evidences of the guilt of his
| former comrades, he again demanded
his plander. 1t was again refused
The Ring had grewn so bold and they
felt that their lease of power was 80
long and strong that they could brave
any exposure. Dcz @ l-
Ihereupon O'Brien turned his evil
dence over to the New York Times, and
| that paper printed it. The effect was
startling. With one voice the people de-
! manded the punishment of these men
| who had betrayed so great trust. They
| were thrust out of the Democratic par
| tY, whose temple they had defiied. Said
Judge Davis in sentencing Tweed:--
| "O'Conner, who has been named here,
and who holds the foremost. rank in his
| profession. and who stands without Il
stain upon a character as pure and no.
bic as any mans in this great city. inn
mediately from his semi-retiremcnt came
and aided in the rescue of this city from
| its great corruption. And Iilden, who
! stood rs the leading man at the head OF
| the Democratic State Committee of this
State, devoted, weeka and months ol
toll in ferreting out these crimes, in as
certaining from these bank accounts,
what had been done, till he was able to
lay before us the other day on the trial
the result, crystalline in Its simplicity.
and SO clear that no man could fail tC
read its meaning" a., =.
Against feeling of wrath which wa;
universal, Tweed opposed the power Of
his ill-gotten wealth. lie doubtless be.
lieyed that no jury could be found te
convict him. dis courage did not for.
sake him. While Connolly skunk away
to other lands to avoid punishment
Tweed stayed and fought if out. How
the fight ended is told in the heavy sen.

"Ky oesoues is gone doaon into his garden flo
gather 1ilies-sotomon's Song, 6; l.
T1HE Lord went down to His garden. one day,
Il To gather lilies, the Scriptures say,
And set them again in the borders green
That blossom the heavenly hills between.
And just as he came in the sweet old song,
Soaking the bowers OF the "sons of men,"
Gathering now as he gathered then. AtI
A miser sat by hfs bag of gold;
..Ivs gathered the fragments. rag ne Lord said he,
"An for myself, and none for Thee"
$50, scatter it all, your shining store.
To feed the hungry and clothe the pOOr;"
These were che words that the dear Lord said.
"I'n gather you, then. for my royal bed"
And as he went on his shining way
He came where another had toiled all day
In the winters cold and the sumcr's heat,-
Was he for the heavenly garden meet?
s'I have builded churches, great and small,
For all persuasions, and given them all
for the worship Of Thee" he pleading cried,
Then the gentle voice of the Lord replied:
ssBut you have not offered single prayer.
Nor bowed your head in those temples fair"
And there stood q tear in his pltying eye
AS he looked on the man, but passed him by.
5llll lOOkInB lOr LILIES, ne CstiLc again
Where another strayed from the haunts of men:
Trembling, he stood before the Lord,
And made this plea, says the holy word.
81 mad one talent, but was afraid,
And safe IN the napkin it is laid; :
There now thou canst take what is just thin'
own"
They the eye Of the Master turned to stone,
And he moved his lips these words to say:
Coward thy talent I'll take away;
No leaf caa bud aud no flower can bloom
On thy baked stem in my heavenly home.'
Then he stood where pnre and simple child
Sat humbly down by 4 savage wild,
And was telling him, DER and DER agar,
How the Lord came down to ransom men;
And radiant light from the Christ-eyes fell
AS he heard her warning of death and hell,
"Lo! here is a flower in my home to Set"
Said he, and his cheeks with tears were wet.
t'Since thou hast told with thy feeble breath
The way that soul can be saved from death,
Thy sins, so many, I'll freely hide"
The Lord, in his loving kindness cried,
And I'll gather You now, . lily fair:
Come up TO my garden and blossom there.''
