THE SEARCH FOR TWEED.
PLENTY OF THEORIES. BUT NO CLEws.


TUE SHERIFF AND Police MORE PROLIFIC OF sUG-
GESrioSs THAN QUALIFICATIONS PUT FOR
WARD FOR THINKING TWEED STILL IN THE
cTTY-BELIEr AMONG MANY PoLICE OFFICIALS
THAT HE FLED on THE YACHT THYBa-THE
GRAND JURY TRYING TO DETERMINE THE RI
sPoNsIBILTrY FOR TUE ESCAPE.
No new developments Of importance have yet
been made in the case of William VI. Tweed. The
search for him by the Sheriff and assistants and the
police has revealed nothing conclusive The belief
Is gaining ground on the part of many that Tweed
has not left the oty They base this opinion on the
fact that satisfactory proof has yet been obtained
that any suspicious vessel has been seen ~
the waters around the city and il is asserted that
Tweed had taken this means Of escape, something
would certainly have been learned by this time Of
the nature Of the craft in which he fed. Therefore
not few persons think that Tweed is in hiding in
the dwelling of some trusted friend iii this city.
1t would not lie surprising If large number of
search warrants procured by the Sheriff and
police, and certain suspected houses thoroughly
searched for some trace of the fugitive. The
Grand Jury has begun investigation to ascertain
who is responsible for the escape of Tweed. Warden
Durham and Keeper Hagan have given their testi-
mony, and il is understood that Chester Lamb the
livery stable keeper at whose branch stable the
carriage was engaged which conveyed Tweed from
the jail on Saturday was also summoned before the
Grand jury and questioned closely as TO what he
knew Of the whole matter.

A DEMOCRATIC COMPROMISE.
LETTER FROM THE HON. F. W. BIRD.

LETTER FROM TIE HON. 7. W. BIRD.
An INDIGNANT PROTEST AGAINST NE VOTE or fHE
HOUSE on THE LOUISIANA CASH.
To tn. Editor o. me TrtbuHe.
SIR: Before my wrath gets cold let protest
against the vote OF the House Of Representatives,.
yesterday, seating Mr.. Morcy under the certificate
Of the usurping Governor OF Louisiana. III anything
is settled this Is: that Keoggs title as Governor -
tainted-ro;ten with fraud clear through, sus-
tanned only By fraud, usurpaton, and mill
tary violence. Compromise Since when has
the House Of Representatives been bound by COM
promise entered into 10y its prcdecessor-a c0mpro-
mise condemned even ny The packed committee sent
TO gloss over the outrages Of the dominant party,
and acquiescod in By the outraged people of Iouloi-
ana solely for the sake of peace solely because they
saw the hopeessncss OF resisting q usurpation
backed by the whole power OF the National Govern
menti
Mr. Blaine asked il Mr. Lamar intended To re-
open the Louisiana question. Why not Pray for
what did the people elect a Democratic House If
not to reopen this and all other rascaties covered
up by the Republican par'y' What have the Demo
cratic Reform party tn do, II not to investigate Just
such matters II this compromise is 10 be ted,
equally so are the compromises which sm0thered

way 10 Gen. Butler. Mr.. TarboI TO DR.. Aver. and
Gen. Banks to SlI. GoOch and thus, Let US have
peace.
No mol The Prince Of Peace came not To- bring
peace but q sword Not thus should the flaming
sword of justice fall hurtless from the hands III
which the people have placed it. For one, thank
Mr.. Wood for thus bravey meeting upon the thresh-
old one of the most important questions which cha-
lcnge this House, pledged 10 the most fearless in
vcstigations of crimes without parallel in our his

repudate them. Who established themf The two
old parties from the necessities Of their position

party in its eight years Of Generalization; and all
for the purpose Of ayering public attention from it,
own nIisdeeds. 1t Is bad omen that the brilliant
send OF Of the opening OF the session should be
marred by this weak acquiescence in Blaines pari-
san tactics, and by this seeming concession to the
Republican leaders TO dictate the subjects which .
Democratic House shall investigate. +, W. BIRD.
