hurt, and there is no clue to the robbers
as yet.

Escape of Tweed.

Inc New 0rK authorities nave no
died with Tweed till he has now i'm
proved his opportunity, and the greatest
thief of ancient and modern times has
taken himself out of the way, having
made his escape Saturday evening. OF
course his escape has been made by the
connivance of the officials, more or less,
amid the multitude Of corrupt avenues
which exist in the city of New York.
The manner of his escape is thus de-
scribed:
On Friday permission was asked of
Sheriff William G. Conner by Warden
Durham to take Tweed out to enable
him to complete his arrangements for
securing the necessary amount of bail
to effect his release. This permission
was accorded by the Sheriff, and it was
in pursuance of this that Tweed was
taken out of Ludlow Street Jail Ac-
cording to the statements of the family
Tweed reached his house in Madison
avenue, between 59th and Goth street,
at about six o'clock last evening. The
house was brilliantly illuminated for the
first time since Tweed has been in troub-
lie. Warden Durham and Keeper Ho-
gan were shown into the parlor, but
Tweed asked to be permitted to go up
stairs to see his wife alone, which was
granted, Ten minutes elapsed and the
officer becoming impatient called on
Tweed's son to 60 up stairs and request
his father to return, as il was now time to
go back to Ludlow Street Prison. The
young man went up stairs and after a
long delay returned, and with a pecul-
lar but sorrowful smile said NY faith
Ell" Frightening up "why, he's gone !"
Gone! " exclaimed the astonished off
GER When ?" "Where ?" and leaping
up the flight of stairs, he unceremoniously
entered the private room and began to
search for his rich prisoner. After thor
oughly searching the building he tele-
graphed from the nearest police station
at 7;40 T. NJ, that Tweed had escaped.
The grand coup d etot was undoubtedly
accomplished by heavy expenditure of
money and judicious bribery on the part
of the friends of the ex-Tammany chief
tain. The present is generally looked
upon as an importune time to make his
escape, owing to the change of officers
in consequence of the recent election
and the officers having nothing to lose
politically.

The Organization.

Congress assembled Monday and both
houses were promptly organized, the
senate having but little to do, after a
session of less than one hour, adjourned
to wait the action of the House.
At II o'clock the House was called to
order by the clerk Of the last House,
Mr.. MCPHERSON of Pa. and proceeded to
ballot for speaker with the following re.
rult
NJ. c. Kerr 173

Scattering 3
The scattering were cast one by Banks
of Mass. one by Anderson of Illinois
and one for William Anderson by whom
not stated. Mr.. Kerr, was declared
elected and assumed the duties of the
chair.
The members were then being sworn
in when Fernando Wood objected to
Mr.. Morey of La. and Mr. Garfield of
Ohio objected to Mr.. Goode of Va.
A discussion thereupon arose raising
the Louisiana question, whether Kellogg
or McEnery were governor of Louisiana,
Notwithstanding this question was set
tied at the last session.
Mr.. Wood offered resolution that
the credentials of Morey and Spencer,
(the contesting member be referred to
the committee on elections, the latter
having credentials from McEnery.
Mr.. Blaine thereupon took the floor
and proceeded to state the adjustment
at the last session to which the demo-
Gratis themselves had agreed, and now
did they propose to repudiate their own
agreement Mr.. Blaine further asked,
whether it was not matter of history
that last year in what was known as the
Louisiana adjustment, it was perfectly
understood that the vote of the House,
declaring Kellogg to be Governor. was
final settlement, and wether the vener-
able gentleman from Georgia (Stephens)
the very Nestor of the Democratic par
ty, had not voted with the Republicans.
in order avowedly, that it might be a
final settlement Did his honorable
friend Lamar come here now to head
a movement to trample on the other side
of that agreement and to reopen the
whole case?
Mr.. Lamar dem. of Miss. admitted
that there had been compromise last
session, and that compromise did ac-
knowledge Kellogg az the acting Gov.
ernor of Louisiana. He hoped the gen.
tleman from New York Wood would
act on the suggestion of Mr.. Hoar Of
Massachusetts, to modify his resolution
by emitting the preamble, and merely
referring the matter to the Committee
on Elections, with instruction to report
on the prima facie case.
A votewas then taken on Mr.. Woods
resolution and it was rejected yeas 134,
nays 135. Mr. Morey was then sworn
in. as was also Mr.. Goode.
The organization of the House was
then Completed by the election of the
democratic candidates, as given elsewhere
and the House adjourned. Immediately
after many members stepped to the
speakers desk and congratulated him on
his election and the manner he had con-
