To TWEED'S KEEPERS.

The excitement into which the lower part OF
the city was thrown yesterday by rumor OF
the escape of Tweed may serve as reminder
70 the proper officers that il would not be
wholesome for them to repeat the performance
of last year, when Mr.. Harry Genet was
kindly assisted to recover his endangered
liberty by friendly Sherift7s deputy. The
general disgust which this freak occasioned
was oay partially cured by the prompt though
Inadequate punishment of the parties impli
Gated.
If Tweed should now under any pretense
be allowed to get away, the public sentl-
meat would Immediately demand the most
summary dealing with all those responsible for
his safe keeping lie is too rich man to be
permitted to slip, if the Sheriifs Office
desires to retain its good reputation. Every
one connected with the administration OF
Justice into whose hands this bulky
prisoner comes is tenfOld more interested
in holding him than if he were an
ordinary burglar or murderer. No one would
would believe that clrclessncss or ill-luck
had ANYTHING to do with such an evasion, If
he should turn up missing. He is too large,
too heavy in his movements, too well known,
anu 100 IlCI, lO ItdNc al SIltu vi hoHNSV 'h'ii
actcr among his keepers, if he should elude
their vigilance. If, for instance, the rumOr of
Yesterday had proved true, there would have
been IN instantaneous agreement OF the gem
eral voice that Il great conspiracy had been
prepared, embracing not only the keepers and
the family of Tweed, but his lawyers also,
and even the magistrate by whose order he
had been taken out of prison. The public
sometimes confounds bad lack with crimi-
nality, and would be apt to do so in such
case as this. There would be good deal Of
both in allowing Tweed to escape.

" SOMETHING FOR THE DEESTRICT.o

SOMETHING FOR THE DEESJRICT"
There is rumOr that the Senate Naval
Committee, which has been investigating the
Navy-Yalds on the Atlantic Coast in a Gov
crnment vessel during the past Summer, viii
recommend in its report the abolition OF the
Ncw-London Nayy-Yard. Ii is needless to say
that profound feeling has been excited i'll two
or N.rcc newspaper Offices and in the breasts
of several prominent persons in the neighbOr
hood OF thc imperled Yard by this startling
suggestion. The newspaper nearest the scene
can imagine 10 argument by which the Com
mi tee can support such recommendation.
"Tbe Government accepted a deed Of the
Gland upon the Thamcs,' it says, upon
"thc express understanding that the land
"should be used for naval purposes"
Since then it is said that nearly
$4,000 has been appropriated for its
improyemcnt; money which will be virtually
thrown away if the Yard is abolished. The
suggestion which the editor makes in cxpla
nation Of the Committees recommendation,
that " they desired to report in favor of some
measure that would appear TO save to the
Government a sum equal to the cost Of their
investigation trip, which was made on
Government vessel in first-class STYLE" is
open to objection. 1t has flavor of unchar-
itabenoss, not to say unkndness. If it should
turn Out that the Committee have recon-
mcnded an additional appropriation instead of
the abolition of the Yard, there will be deep
rcmorsc for this unkind reference to the ex-
pensc of trip" on Government vessel in
"iirst- t-class style"
Another newspaper little farther off, but
in the neghbOrhood of the Institution which
is in danger of being sacrificed to pay the ex-
penscs of the trip of the Committee, is very
much put out about it, and says with some
snappishncss Of manner: If it be deemed
"for the best interests of the country to have
"no Navy-Yards but those that can be used by
"local politicians for personal advantage, why
"thcn it may be well to save those at Charles
"town, Brooklyn, and League Island, and
"discard that at New London, for it promises
"lttle in this direction. If the largo States,
"like New York with her thirty-threo Con-
"gressmen, and Pennsylvania with twenty

During the last two or three weeks of the late
campaign the air was darkened with cloud OF lies
invented by Administration politicians and editors
concerning the use of money in the canvass One of
the slest of them was the story that Mr.. 1ilden
had paid, or was to pay, large sums of money to
The TRIBUNE for its expression of its views
concerning the Third Term At first, it was
efforts of people thrown off their balance
By the prospect of defeat. But later developments
provoke the suspicion that they were intended as a
bind. IL is now known that largo sums of money
were sent into the Assembly Districts by prominent
Administration leaders-Sums much larger tLan
there could have been any legitimate way of spend
ing for campaign purposes. The subject having now
been raised, We beg thus early to urge upon
the attention of the GoyernOr-elcct and tie
now Legislature the desrabity of probing ii to
the bottom Let rs have Committee of lnvestiga-
tion on the campaign expenses of both sides. Let
it be fairly composed of men of the utmost energy
and unqucstioned integrity from both parties and
let them make thorough work. We believe there
are men, holding high positions in the COM
munity, who were guilty of transac-
tions in the last campaign which
ought to dcbar them from ever holding again any
Office Of honor or trust; and no matter on which
side they may be found. we want their operations
exposed and themselves punished. If we are ever
to check the constantly increasing tendency to cor
ruptiOn in our politics. this is a good chance. We
earnestly urge that it be improved.

There has been some interesting talk, lately. about
the terms on which public-spirited editors came 10
advocate the Northern Pacific railroad enter
prse and to hold Northern Pacific bonds in
largo amounts as parts OF the same trans
action The name Of Mr.. Greeley having been
inpcrtlnently brought into the discussion, va

to the bankrupt scheme. 1t turns out precisely as
all his friends wonld have predicted. What he said
about the Northern Pacific Road he said without
compensation because he honestly believed in it.
What be held in Northern Pacific bonds he
owned, because no had honestly paid for it
in cash. Mr.. Greeley earnestly desired ths
carly settlement Of the Northwest, believed the
construction Of the Northern Pacific Railroad the
best way to stimulate il, thought the road practca
bic. and therefore commended it. He also thought
it would some day pay. and so he subscribed for its
stock and bonds, investment for bis wife, and
paid In cash for share and bond he received.

There ara several good suggestions in the
address of Mr.. Chambers, the presiding officer
of the Alabama State Grange. He thinks that
the State ought to be urged to have
geological survey made so as to attract to
Alabama a class Of men that will develop its
great mineral wealth. he wants legislation on
the dead d-fall" system, under which dishonest
negroes now dispose of farm products stolen
by night; he wants measures taken to secure
square dealing in commercial fertilizers"
which are now very uncertain in their COM
position and value; and he recommends that
more attention be paid throughout the State
to raising food supplies at homo. All this is
much better sense than is usually projected at
Grange meetings and should carry weight.
We cannot say as much for his recommend
alton to establish an organ Of the Changers.
They should take warning as to the organ
business from the sad experience of men in

The various resolutions brought before the
Cheap Transportation Convention at Rich
mond yesterday were somewhat Incompatible.
They recommended opening four great water
routes from the interior to the seaboard, and
the immediate improvement of the mouths of
the Mssissippi; they also resolved that the SEN
timcnt of the Convention was adverse to an
increase of taxation upon the people i'll the
shape of interest upon additional bonded
debt. All these resolutions were turned over
to a committee, that will have hard time to
harmonze them. When the art of extracting
snnbeams from cucumbers is discovered it
will be time to hope to dig National canals
without an increase OF public debt and taxes.

Ex-Supervising-Arch Mullett's report
gives little indication of the enormous masses
to which it refers, Or which is more impor-
tapt, of their cost. lie seems to have thought,
however, that there might be some limit to
lis undertakings, for he says that except
Custom-houses here and in Philadelphia,
and Post-offces at San. Francisco and
Brooklyn, "no probability exists that
"any buildings Of great magnitude and cost
I" will be needed for years to come" In this,
at least, the country will agree with him, not
even making the exceptions he proposes. The
tender of Mr.. Mullett'S Office to Mr.. Macarthur
of Philadelphia, who was President of the
last annual meeting of the American Institute
of Architects, gives hope that we shall at last
have man of reputation in charge of The
construction of our national buildings.

There has been no finer evidence of the desire of
the people of tins State irrespective of party ties to
secure genuine political reform, and no finer tribute
to the power of the press, than in the triumphant
adoption of all the Constitutional Amendments
Even those TO which the most hostility was
excited, and against which tho Tammany
vote i'll this city was thrown solid, were
carried by majority nearly two-thirds greater
than that Of Mr. Tilden. THE TRIBUNE, which sup
ported these amendments with great earnestness
from tho outset, and obyiated the apprehended
scarcity of ballots, particularly in the rural dis
tricts, by printing in the whole OF its heavy country
circulation, through all its editions tickets suitably
prepared and ndorscd for the reader to cut out and
vote may be permitted to take especial pleasure and
pride in this result. There are only two of the
Amendments concerning whose validity and present
binding force any doubt has been raised. These
two were changed by the second Legislature which
acted upon them and in the opinion of leading Ad-
mlnistration members of tho Legislature of lS13
such changes invalidate them These arc the
Amendments making tho salo of tho lateral canals

jurists express tho belief, however, that

From the detailed statement in our columns
as to the course which each of our fire in
surance companies proposes taking as to risks
in Chicago, it is evident that many of them
will not be in haste to resume this sort OF
business. The new risks there that are ac-
cepted and the old ones that are renewed will
be thoroughly canvassed. But confidence
which at best is of slow growth, is returning
quite as fast as Chicago is reforming, and it
will not be long before insurance is no more
difficult to effect on property there than III
other Western cities. Now is it not time to
take action respecting the Eastern District of

Gov. Kemper's message is of hopeful char
acter, and indicates that Virginia is recovering
both financially and politically from the effects
of the war. The recent elections there, as
well as elsewhere in the South, awaken senti-
ments of loyalty long dormant, and call forth
expressions of goodwill to citizens of all races
and cOors The most remarkable proposition
of this address is a plan to provide State
currency for Virginia, the supply of green
backs and National bank notes being declared
insufficient.

New Hampshire Prohibitionists have held
their Convention, nominated Governor, Kall-
road Commissioner and Congressman, and
proclaimed their hostility to existing parties
and their uncompromising support OF their
own principles. Outside of this the only
notable feature in their platform is that 1t
favms speedy return to specie payments.
They have not made very strong impression
as yet on State politics, their vote for Gov
crnor last year only numbering 1,O78; this
