FwEED's CAPTURE.
Spanish Version Of the Pursuit-TWeed and
his "Micked Partner.n

Our readers are not ignorant of the
fact that the Civil Governor of the
Province of PonteVedra, Don Victor de
Noyea, personally accomplished, on Sep
tember 6, the capture of VIM. NJ. Tweed,
who, coming from the Island OF Cuba in
the Spanish barque Carmen, under the
assumed name OF John Secor, and in
company with another American citizen,
MIR. William Hunt, his reputed nephew,
landed the preceding day at the LaEa-
retto of San Simon, near Vigo.
The aforementioned Mr.. Tweed was
for long period at the head of a Pc
culiar association which perpetrated
with impunity enormous thefts of the
municipal funds of New York. But the
present Governor OF that State, MIR.
Samuel j. Tilden (the same who was
recently chosen as candidate for the
| Presidency of the Republic by the Demo.
| cratic Convention of st. LOUSY, deter.
mined to follow up the defrauders with
| incessant energy and speed, to ferret
them out and turn them over TO the
hands of justice.
The upright magistrate achieved his
purpose. Mr.. William M. Tweed, the
chief of the band, was accused, tried,
| sentenced to pay over to the City Treas
ury of New York $6,000,0 900 which had
| been stolen, and was thrown immedi.
ately into prison. Notwithstanding that
he actually refunded large sum, he
was still in default in no inconsiderable
amount of money when he managed to
escape from prison and to take passage
! in a vessel which sailed to Santiago de
cuba. and embarked thence on the
Spanish barque Carmen, loaded with
rum, to the port Of Vigo, where he ar
rived in safety on the day above stated.
The two fugitiVes, Tweed and Hunt,
were incarcerated In bhe citadel of Cas-
tro at Vigo, where they remained until
board of the North American frigate
Franklin, thirty-nine guns, at the re-
quest OF the Captain, MIR. Franklin, to
whom they were delivered, after the
| proper formalities, in compliance with
the Governors orders. The vessel there
upon sailed In the direction OF New York
| MIR. Hunt was set at liberty, no requisi
ton for his person being included in the
instructions which the Captain Of the
Franklin had received.
In connection with the affair several
political journals deplore that there sx
lists no reciprocity obligation between
| Spain and the United States, when it is
| remembered that the Spanish Govern
ment permits the extradition OF North
American subject accused Of stealing
municipal funds, and the North AmerI

of all the various routes, and to this
work Mr.. AMMEN has devoted himself
with great energy and assiduity.
No less than five different routes have
been critically examined under our
Naval Commission authorized by Con-.
gress, topical surveys and scientific
tests have been carefully made, exact
estimates Of cost have been prepared,
and all has been pres ented by official re-
ports to the Government. In his paper
communicated to the Geographical So
ciety, above referred to, Commodore
AMMEN discusses fully the merits and
dement's of the several routes surveyed
by American as well as by European
Commissions and engineers. The long
est route, surveyed by Drouillet, Of
France, would require canal Of one
hundred and forty-four miles in extent.
The shortest, known as the San Bias
route, would require only twenty-seven
miles OF canal, but would necessitate a
tunnel of eight miles. On the Truando
route canal of fifty-two miles and a
tunnel of only one quarter of mile, or
twelve thousand two hundred and fifty
feet, would be required. The route con.
Meeting the Cupria and the Chirichiri
Bays would require canal of twenty
eight miles, including tunnel Of from
three to FIVE miles. The route connect
ing the Aspinwall and Panama Bays,
now traversed by the railway, would re-
quire about sixty miles OF canal, aided
materially by the Chagres River, and
without tunneling. This route was most
carefully examined and its cost critical
