Tweed's Tactics.

If the ambiguous whisperings that are
heard in regard to negotiations with Tweed
are to be given any credence it appears that
the heavy exile is willing to pay nearly
million dollars for the right to live in this
city unmolested of the authorities, and for
such peace of mind as he can obtain from
this sort of compromise with justice. From
which it would appear that he either rates
his peace of mind very highly or that he
iinks'' of life in Belgium or other foreign
countries. Tweeds estimate of the value
Of the privilege of living in this
city is all the more remarkable if,
rs is alleged, the million he is willing to
pay will exhaust what remains of the plum
der. He loves the city well enough to live
as Il poor man here rather than rs rich
man elsewhere; and it is odd, therefore, that
he did not love it well enough not to rob
it 50 mercilcssly. But he is, it seems,
even 50 solcitous to carry out this arrange
ment for the purchase of immunity that he
who. it is presumable, were more or less i'm
pIicated in his rogueries. Disclosures are
threatened, vague terrors are held out
to cast shadow on any con-
sciences that may be in shaky
condition, all with view to enforce assist
ance or to frighten the timid who may have
assumed any position of hostility. This is n
very queer spectacle to soc-a fugitive from
justice put forth from his safe hiding place
the airy fulminations Of his wrath against
people thus far not known as his accomplices.
But this is probably only one more demon
stration Of his peculiar style 1t is the same
sort OF bravado, empty and yet for a time
effective, that led him when first accused to
defy justice. Others, with more logic in
them and less assurance, would have fled;
but the seli-confdent and dull-witted Tweed
only turned with the taunt, "What are you
going to do about it?"
The New York herald., 1875-12-16

No patriot will object if in doing 50 we re-
move the last yestige of Cesarism. When
Mr. Pierrepont spoke some time ago in rap
turous way Of the 'era Of good feeling, he
little imagined that the democrats themselves
would offer a resolution which, if properly
accepted, would mark the opening Of that
era. 1t is by measures such as these that the
democrats will retain the power that they
have won. 1t is by craftsmanship based
upon these broad, liberal, generous princi-
Piles that the nation can be brought under
democratic rule. We do not know
whether partisanship in Washington has
gone so far, or made such deep
assures between thinking men, that
proposition of this kind would not be con-
sidered. But we commend it earnestly to
the patriotic members of both parties Let
us end this C@sarism terror. Let us secure
the one term idea, and in such manner as
TO compel the friends of Grant themselves to
support it. Let us recognize, even in an ex-
ceptional degree, the memorable services of
Grant. Let us be just to our President.
With this amendment part of the law the
country can feel that the dreariest phantom
that ever oppressed the politics of America
has faded out of sight. We can begin our
second centenary in the enjoyment of that
era of good feeling for which patriots have
hoped and prayed SO long.

Capital Punishment.

1t is not pleasant to read of the efforts that
are making to stay the sentence of execution
passed upon Dolan and the three negro mur-
derers who are condemned to die tomorrow.
We mean by this that the uncertainty which
exists in reference to this execution is un-
fortunate in double sense. First, it is an
encouragement to those who break the law
to expect immunity from just punishment !;
second, it is torture to the prisoners them
selves These unhappy men should have
some time for preparation for their awful
fate. According to our legal system every
moment from pronouncing sentence till the
execution is q moment Of hope and expec-
tation. Now, we would be far from denying to
any of these wretched people the utmost
benefit of the law. If there is any evidence,
for instance, going to show that Dolan did
not commit the murder of Mr.. Noe, or tend
ing to show that Staudermann is insane, or
lessening the guilt of any of the three
wretched negroes, let it be known. If the
sentence is unjust let it be changed. But
capital punishment, to be at all effective in
our system ofgovernment, should be prompt
and decisive as in France and England.
The action of the Court should close the mat
ter. The Governor should make known
his final decision for or against mercy at least
ten days or two weeks before the execution
of the sentence From that decision and
from the action of the Court there should
be no possible appeal. This is due to hu-
manity as well as to justice. 1t is hard to think
of these wretched men in the Tombs living
from hour to hour in the hope that their
lawyers or their friends will secure re-
prieve. AS it is now no one can tell
whether this execution will take place to-
morrow or not, because it is just possible
that at twelve o'clock tonight some busy
lawyer will induce the Governor to grant q
reprieve. OF course if it is the Governors
duty to grant reprieve he should do it, but
we repeat, that in all matt srs of this kind
the decision of the courts should be final
and there should be time allowed between
that dread arbitration and the execution Of
the sentence for the condemned man to pre-
pare for the other world. We can imagine
no system of cruelty, Chinese or Indian, as
terrible as what we impose upon men SEN
fenced TO death in New York

THE REWARD OF FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS,

THE REWARD OF FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS,
gold, offered by the managers of the Direct
Cable for information leading to the "dis-s
covery of the vessel which broke their cable,
shows that they believe the break to have
been caused by human agency but whether
the result Of accident or design they do not
aver. This puts very serious face upon the
matter. To purposely break cable is as
grave a crime as to scuttle ship, and should
be treated as vigorously as piracy upon the
high seas Apart from the question of
property-and in such case it represents
mllions-the act would be treason to human
intelligence. We hope the matter will
be thoroughly investigated 1t is not so
hard to break cable To throw grapnel
astern and tow it at night across the line of
submerging is all that is necessary. A slight
shock would be felt on board when the grap-
pied cable snapped; that is all. In spite of
this there are many reasons why it would be
difficult to do it in face of large reward, one
of which is that the plot should be known to
several persons. On the other hand, there
are many ways that a cable may cease work
ing without being designedly broken The
work itself may be faulty, or the bottom on
which il is laid of such nature as to cut the
insulating material. II, however, foul play
is suspected, the wider and deeper the in
quiry goes the better. There should be more
cables by dozen than we have, and then,
with fair spirit of business rivalry, we
should hear less OF dark suspicious and
darker designs.

THE PLoT TO Blow UP THE MosEI, which
is laid bare in our special dispatches, is so
hellish in its nature as to produce sense OF
stupefaction rather than burst of indigna-
ton. 1t requires considerable stretch OF
imagination to realize it in all its horrors, SC
out of proportion to the gain sought is the
magnitude of the contemplated crime.
Whether the would-be suicide is
lunatic who, with insane cunning, did
the actual preparation for the horrid
work himself and evolved the rest of the al
legged conspiracy from his diseased mind, hat
not been thoroughly settled, and the only
way to do SO is to hunt up every clew which
can be gathered from his statements since OF
movements prior to the explosion. From
one of the former we learn that lie alleges to
have accomplices in New York who were
presumably to divide the plunder upon the
high insurance which has been or was ia
have been effected on goods in the MoseL
This is work for our shrewdest detectives.

A Queer Defence OF Tammany.

Mr.. Henry l.. Clinton, the same gentleman
who week or two since proposed, as a men,
Der Of the Tammany Society, revision OF
its constitution and bylaws, with a view to
abolish the secrecy of its proceedings, has
made still another acknowledgment of the
force OF public opinion as declared through
the press The odious organization seems
on the point of tumbling in ruins as by the
repeated strokes OF tremendous battering
ram, and Mr.. Clinton attempts to prop up
the falling structure. He published long
letter of three columns in the demo
cratic organ yesterday, wherein he COM
municated the exquisitely reassuring fact
that ''this society has for years past taken no
action whatever in political affairs; and he
devotes the greater part of his long letter to
quotations from his own speeches denounc-
ing the organization for its corrupt and in
famous control of the politics of the city
But he contends that that was a fragrant
usurpation of powers which do not belong
to the society. Nobody disputes that such
action is usurpation of powers not con-
ferred by its charter but the admitted fact
that it can be perverted to such uses is one
of the strongest reasons why SO dangerous a
society should be dissolved and why the
charter it has so UNANIMOUSLY abused should
he taken away 1t is just as susceptible OF
such abuses under Tweeds successors as il
was under Tweed himself. We need nc
better testimony than that of Mr..
Clinton to secure q public verdict against
Tammany. 1t would be curious defence Of
an arraigned criminal for his counsel to
quote from his own speeches in former
trial proving that his client was the
greatest thief of the century, but claiming
that he had since reformed. Mr.. Clinton
would be laughed out Of court if he should
defend criminal at the bar by the same
kind of argument he employs in defence OF
Tammany. Tammany must be hard pressed
for grounds of vindication when its cham
pion is forced to hazard, in the face of this
community, such an assertion as that the
society 'has for years past taken no action
in regard to political affairs. Is Grand
Sachem Kelly myth? Did he and his asso.
ciate Sachems have nothing to do with
politics in the recent election, when they got
so badly whipped? Can Mr.. Clinton prove
an alibi in favor of his clients? This inno-
cent society, he tells us, is merely the owner
of piece of real estate in Fourteenth street,
called Tammany Hall, and the only function
it exercises is to permit room in that build.
ing to be used by the Democratic General
Committee What convincing statement
If that is the only function of the society
what objection can there be to dissolving so
idle and useless an association and relieving
the democratic party of the heavy load OF
odium attached to the name and the in
famous history of Tammany2 The society
is on it's last legs when its champion is com.
pelled to make SO chin" defence.

Phantoms In Politics.

American politics for the past few years
have been under spell-a "war SPELL, we
may call it. The influence of the war has
been to generate all manner Of phantoms,
that have terrified not merely the souls of
conservative citizens, but Of those who have
no interest other than political ambition.
Thrifty politicians have looked upon the
whole matter as the close Of career, and
that we were to have Grant and Grant only
for another generation that there were to
be no more cakes and ale but for the Grant
family AS we said the other day we have
rested like Egypt under the darkness which
covered the land for three days. Business
has been unsettled. The people did
not know where we would be in
another season. The members Of Congress
were afraid to legislate, except from hand
to mouth, on questions arising out of recon-
struction and finance. We had the phantom
Of n war with England, which was only laid
at Geneva. Then came the phantom of San
Domingo annexation and the extension of
empire into the West Indies. Then came
the phantom of the rebellion, which took
Phil Sheridan all the way to New Orleans,
and threatened ms with war; Then came the
phantom of Cmsarism, more terrible than
any, bringing all the others in its train.
Finally, we have bad the phantom Of Pro-
tcctorate, which was to come into being to
save our schools and our institutions from
the Pope.
Now, the way to lay these phantoms is for
the republicans and democrats to accept the
Randall amendment and to extend General
Grants term to 1873 The amendment means
