3Ar GOULD snoE1 ON WESTERN UNION.
oDsy before yesterday the Atlantic i Pacific
Telegraph Company announced reduction OF
rates On messages to all prominent points,
ranging from 20 to 80 per cent. Tho Western
Union Bos1d nas hastily called together, and q
similar reduction promptly agreed upon; SO the
TWO companies nre to-day taking messages at tho
reduced 1atss-with scarcely any percoptiDla
effect however, upon the volume OF busi-
ness. President 01ton does not hesitate
to cL3rge that this is. Jay Gould's
work, Is b. is kaown ito be largo
holder Of i l. r. Telegraph stock, and be e1-
poets that tho reduction will Affect the earnings
Of Western Union 50 seriously as to lower the
quotations OF its stock. The difficulty about
schemes Of this sort ia, that tho anticipated ef~
fects Of rise devised in any particular interest
is invausbly discounted before the full effects
are felt by the stock concerned. Long before
tie raid Of Gould on Western Union is fairly
{elt By the Company, Gould will hare covered
Lis shorts, Ard probably be operating for rise
The Nsll street operators have very little faith
in Gould, aud though he has a number Of blind
followers, they arc in constant danger Of falling
into the ditch together
Hoss TWEED AND CHARLES o'coSon.
There WAS great excitement in police circles
on Monday evening, caused by report tele-
grsphed from one OF tho sub-statioas that the
great Tam1n.ny Chief, Boss Tuead. had surren-
dared himself 1t Ludlow-Street Jail, il company
17.h Charles DeE}in, one Of his bondsme1- It
vas speedily ccn!r3dicted 80 far as the Ludlow
Street Ja.l was concerned, but it then TOOK an~
other form that Tweed was in custody OF o
Deputy Sheriff st 81 uptown hotel, aud desired
to surrender himself into Sheriff Conuer's hands
direct. The reporters got hold OF the story, and
Euch running to and fro has rarely occurred
1t was past midnight before the chase
OF this important item WAS abandoned.
There is q story afoat, though it has not yet
found its way into print, that personal friend
Of Tveed's recently approached Charles O'Con-
or aud solicited Of him M opinion as to the
terms On which Tweed can escape further moles-
is, the pecuniary consideration NEG
ezsary to be paid OConor is Ftiu very feeble
Is result Of his tste sickness, and. although
giving q lrief attention to business every day,
he is compelled to keep his mind freed from all
serioEs cares. He therefore declined to express
any opin,on as to what he would be willing to
recommend. And the matter was dropped.
Tweed's absence rather helps compromise, as
curing one rather than be held responsible for
Taeed's escape.
AwAG on HENRY REnau.
About 3 year ago Henry Bergh's Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals provoked
the wrath Of the Rev. S. Iraneus Prime, by ar
resting his carr1age-driyer for driving clipped
horse one cold dag without blanket. One OF
Pri1ae's family, lady, WAS il the carriage, and,
being IN Invalid, MAS obliged to walk to her res
idence Tbera is no doubt it was rather rough
treatment. Prime has mado it personal mat
ter, and sent circulars TO members OF the Legis-
lsture, and to various ministers throughout the
East, charging that Dergh is fanatic, and his
Society RI oppression. He recites the circun-
ftances Of the case mentioned, and says that,
N the sight Of God, the life Of the
hunblest woman in Now York is Of more IN
portance than that Of the most valuable ho1se,-
- proposition to Which Eergh does not assent.
