aid, left the city for the scene of aci-

The Reasons why Tweed Re
mains i'm Prison.

New YORK, June Is. EARLY yes
terday morning, Mr.. +. Dewey and
Mr.. Edelstein, of Mr.. Tweed's c0un-
sci, landed on Blackwell's Island and
were shown to the room occupied by
Mr.. Tweed. Ii was thought that
they would accompany their client to
the Sherlff's Office but the day wore
on. and no news came from the au-
thorities of the issuance of the re-
mittitur. Warden Fox, in the NOR
ming, found Mr.. Tweed bright and
cheerful, but not disposed to enter
largely into conversation.
Late in the afternoon William NJ.
Tweed, .jr., paid his usual visit to his
father. He could give no intelligence
concerning his fathers discharge. -
The officers of the Island speak in
the highest terms of young Tweed,
who, they say, has been mremitting
in his attentions to his father since
his confinement.
1t is believed that Mr.. Tweed will
not be discharged from the Island
until tomorrow afternoon, although
possibly the necessary arrangements
may be completed in time to take him
to court to-day.
A gentleman who ought to know,
but who declines to allow the publi-
cation of his name, says that the de-
lay i'll discharging Mr.. Tweed arises
from the anxiety of his counsel to
save him all trouble after his depart
ure from the Island. In the first
place the finding Of good sureties for
SO large an amount as $4,000 200 is a
task of great difficulty, but it is be-
lived that it has been accomplished.
Then there will be a difficulty III the
Sheriff's Office, for it is believed that
Sheriff Conner will likely refuse
to accept the bail bonds on his
own responsibility, but will insist that
the sureties justify beforea justice of
the Supreme Court. This will neces-
sarily cause q delay, pending which
Mr.. Tweed will be in the custody OF
Sheriff Conner. 1t is optional with
that gentleman either to send the
prisoner to Ludlow street jail, on to
confine him in his own house under a
guard Of deputies. Although the inn
preston is firm among the officers
who have had Mr.. Tweed in their
custody for nearly two years that he
has no desire to escape except by le-
gal means, the amount of bail de-
manded and the vastness of the sums
involved, may probably influence
Sheriff Conner and cause him to send
his prisoner to jail, pending the pro-
ceedings OF the court and lawyers.
The bail in the charge OF felony will
be first given. 1t will not be very
heavy.

WAsHINGToN June 19.--Inquiry
at the offices of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio roads in this city, shows that
the agreement between these two
roads have not become operative, as
the fares haven not been increased but
remain as they were at the height of
the war. There is an impression that
the new arrangement will go into eff
feet on Monday, (21st,) but nothing
is definitely is known.
AS regards freight charges, there
will doubtless be some difficulty in
adopting new rates at once, as many
contracts have been made extending
into the months Of July and August,
and in respect to passenger. rates,
while the fare can be advanced any
day Mr.. Garrett has 50 many low-fare
tickets out and good for unlimited
time, that on his lines at least good
deal of the travel for the immediate
future must be at low rates.
The Pennsylvania road sold tickets
good for five days only, but it is
doubtful under the recent rulings of
the courts, whether a railroad COM
pany can legally make retraction of
this kind, as it is held that the pur-
chaser of a ticket purchased the right
to ride over the road named at any
time. 1t is not probable, however,
that there are as many OF the Penn
sylvania road tickets out as compared
with the numbers afloat of the Balti-
more x Ohio Company.

BUNKER HILL FEELING.
RECEPTION or RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Costly Hospitality to the Richmond
knights of Templars.


New York, June o1.--A Boston
dispatch of yesterday says only one OF
the visiting organizations from the
south remains in Boston, and that Is
Richmond C0mmandery of knights
Templars. They leave to-day, Mon
day. Their reception here has been
the grandest of all the great demon
strations of welcome made during the
past week. The appropriation for the
entertainment of these seventy men
WAS 100000, and great deal more
has been expended for the same OBJ
iect by private citizens. The collation.
given them by st. Andrews Lodge,
which has only 3S members, cost 3d.
900. The guests are overpowered by
all these and other evidences of Mas
sachusetts hospitality, and say they
will go home with revived affection
for their sister commonwealth and
new interest in our common country.
Their spirit is set forth in an extract
from the speech of one Of their num-
ber--ex-governor Walker-when the
commandery and their hosts made q
Masonic visit to the scene OF War
ren's death at Bunker Hill.
Ex-Gov. WALKERS REMARKS.
The Governor said, In closing his
remarks: We come here to say that
we fully recognize that the flames OF
war have subsidized, and that glorious
emblems Of peace are growing for all
Of us. Cries Of Good, = and APP
plause.l We come here to say that
i'll honest reality we desire to extend
to you the right hand of fellowship,
and In future to march on with you
as one people, laboring to accomplish
one great objeet--the perpetuation OF
the American union in all purity, in
all sublimity and in all the grandeur
which our fathers founded it, and in
which II ilourished from the first.
[Applause and cheers.l TO be brief,
we stand here to say to you that we
hope soon Massachusetts, and Vir-
ginia may always be able iii future
to say, Z Behold how good and how
pleasant a thing it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity Applause
and cheers. The sentiments here ex-
pressed seemed to be shared by all
Southerners who have attended the
celebration.
AN INVITATION TO RICHMOND.
At the banquet given by DeMolay

i've viands of the seaeon. Eminent
Commander, Mr.. M. Clark, sat at the
head Of the table ,at which 300guests
were seated. The presiding officer
made a speech Of hearty welcome.

THE BEECIIER SCANDAL.
Mr.. Beach Continues His Arr
gumenf.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The court
room was more densely crowded this
morning than it has been since the
early days Of the trial, and many Ia
dies were among the spectators. Mrs.
Beecher was escorted into court by
DIR. Edward Beecher. Theodore Til
ton was early in his accustomed seat.
When the Jury was called Mr.. Beach
arose and confined his address. He
said Moulton had been charged with
faitblessness in refusing Mr.. Beecher
copies of documents from time to
time placed in his hands. On July
rs, 1874. Beecher applied for copies
of these letters, and Moulton replied
to this letter ON August 4. The jury
would remember that shortly after
this Moulton obtained the mutual
consent of both parties. to bring the
papers in question before an investi-
cation committee. 1t was not for
Tracy, the advocate, to condemn
Moulton, who was far below him
(Beecher) in intellectual qualities,
when Beecher entered into the policy
of silence and operated with Moulton
for that end /; defendant should not,
therefore, blame Moulton for his ac-
ton in that respect. Counsel then
quoted from General Tracys opening
in respect to the part taken by Moul-
ton in tile matter. To represent
Moulton Ias the special friend of
Beecher in this matter, said counsel,
was preposterous, for during these
years there was not a day when the
honor and safety of defendant did
not depend upon this faithful friend.
Tracy says Of Moulton that to pro-
mote the christianity in which he did
not believe that he had been leading
a life of lies and divided his wife's
kisses with a prostitute. An attack
sof this kind, said Mr.. Beach, could
not be tolerated, and no man who
made such an attack as this could
bel long to the courteous profession
to which they belonged; and the
worst of this attack was that it was
not his production, which he was
then reading in the tone
of a school-boyI who had but inn
perfectly learned his lesson. This
came from the man who had given
his oath of honor not to appear
against the plaintiff, and was caused
by Monlton's refusal to surrender
the papers placed with him undsr the
mutual consent that they should not
be given up by one party without the
consent of theot There was one
other witness who had borne testi-
mony to the confessions of the delft.

A WASHINGTON special gives the facts
of another leak lately found in the Post
Office department: ut seems that the
expense of repairing the Government
mailbags had, under the Creswell dy-
nasty, been run up to about $780, 900
per annum, being about $4,000 more
than it ought to cost. This is the result
of a general system of fraud and over
charge upon the Government. The
p%ostofice at Indianapolis seems to have
furnished on of the worst of these cases.
The last contractor there run up the ex-
pense Of repairing the mailbags from
$4,000 per year to about 1922, 900. The
special agent of the department acquits
the Indianapolis postmaster and super.
intendent of the p%ostofice of any inten-
tional wrong in the matter, but it is obvi-
GUS that the Govern ment was swindled
right under the superintendent nose,
and that he took no pains to stop it."
