lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEEl
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-FOur more companies OF
troops are expected here in a day or two from Fort
SILL Indian Territory, and other detachments viii
probably be brought from the South in short time
Now that the mystery thrown around the move
ments of the troops has been abandoned, everybody
except a few Of the most partisan Democrats COM
mends the prudence of the Administration in as
sembling force large enough to afford assurance
that there viii be no riOtOus outbreak during ses-
sion Of Congress which is sure to be unusually ex-
citing.
Mr.. S. S. Cox, who is now in the city, is reported
70 have given it as his opinion to-day that the
twenty-second Joint rule Is abolished. This is
question which may enter into the contest for the
Speakership. If the Democrats determine to make
an effort to count out Hayes by rejecting the votes
OF the disputed States they win not want Speaker
holding such a sensible view as Mr.. Cox is said to
entertain
The Democratic National Committee lave sent a
man over to advise their friends in this city to aban-
don their proposed celebration next week. This
messenger Is understood to have suggested to the
lliden patriots that as long the Democrats Of the
metropolis who gave the ticket 10000 majority re-
nam from any gloriication, those of Washington
VINO cannot even count q vote for President might
~ well keep quiet.

HIS RETURN
William NJ. Tweed was yesterday returned to the
custody Of the Sheriff of New-York County, from
which he escaped on Dec. 4, 1875. The reason
which impeled Tweed to flight was the discovery
that 20 criminal indictments had been found against
him. that James Fl. Ingersoll had turned States evil
dence and been released from State Prison to testify
against him, and that his conviction on various in
dictments was certain. He escaped in yacht,
which landed HIM in an unfrequented port of the
coast of Cuba, whence he made bis way to Havana
There for some time he under the surveillance
of the American Consul and as he asserts, the pro-
lection of the Captain-G General, Jovellar, who de-
manded and obtained large sums of money, amount
ing to 100000, from him. The pursuit of the
United States officials became close that Tweed
was forced to hasty flight to Spain, where he was
recognized, arrested, and delivered 10 the COM
mander OF the United States frgate Franklin for
transportation to this country. He was surrendered
to the Sheriff OF New-York yesterday afternoon, and
is now under close confinement in Ludlow Street
Jail, pending trial on the criminal indictments
found against him. The capture of Woodward
greatly complcates Tweeds defense and renders his
case all the more hopeless.
New-York tribune., 1876-11-24
TWEED,s FLIGHT A YEAR AGO.

The flight of Tweed from Ludlow Street
Jail effected on Dec 4, 1875. The particulars are
still familiar to TRIBUNE readers. 1t very deber-
atey planned, and executed with precision and exact
that foled pursuit and for long time confounded
all plans for his recapure. Pursuit depended entirely
upon Sheriff Conner, whom all the responsibility
rested as custodian Of the prisoner and upon whom
good deal of undeserved abuse heaped by those en-
gagged in the prosecution. Mr.. Conner Immediately em-
ployed expense OF $s0O0 large force Of de-
tecves in shadowiug" every relative and known IN
innate Of the fugitive, but in vain. No trace was found
the Government discovered the fugitive and
gave pursuit. ending in capture In Spain two months
ago. II is known that Tweed escaped in small
yacht that at for days before land
ing unsettled part Of the Cuban coast whence he
made his way TO Havana From that city he was COM
PEELED TO take flight, owing to the efforts Of the United
States Consul and the evident disposition Of the Spanish
authorities there to aid him securing Tweed's arrest
Finally, driven to embark in Spanish sailing vessel he
landed at Vigo only TO find himself surrendered BY
courtesy of the Spanish Government.
All these circumstances familiar TO the general
public. There are others, explanatory OF the motives
which mpelled Tweed to fight which will be OF greater
interest.

Try TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Apart from the revolu-
tionary character of Mr. Potter's plan for commits
s;oning pretender as President, 1t is wholly inn
practicable. AS soon as the House attempted to go
into an election for President the Republican men,
hers would begin ilbustering and they could easily
keep it up for the two weeks and half intervening
between the 14th of February the day for counting
the vote. and the 4th of March, when the Congress
expires. Last Winter the Democrats, under the
lead of Mr. Randall, abolished the rule made by the
Republicans TO prevent ilibusterinG, and the mi
nority now have full power to stave off direct
vote ON a question by interpOsng dilatory motions
AZ long as they desire to- The first stumbling block
in the road mapped out by Mr.. Potter would be the
difficulty in passing resolution declaring that no
President had been chosen and that the House
should proceed to elect. 1t is not easy to see how
such resolution could be brought up for action
without a suspension of the rules, which requires
two-thirds vote and which the Democrats could not
command; but if the Speaker arbitrarily ruled the
resolution in order in disregard of therules it would
only be necessary for the Republicans to repeat the
usual round of dilatory motions until noon of the
4th of March to make the whole scheme abortive
lis understood that the President will discuss
the questions growing out of the disputed election
in his annual message and will take strong grounds
in favor of regarding the returns certified to by the
electors as final. Upon this Interpretation of the
Constitution all Republicans now taking posi-
ton and many of the ablest Democrats admit that
il is unassallabe. The curt and mandatory phrase
in the Constitution, "The votes shall be counted'
ents like a sword all the meshes of argument to
demonstrate the power of either House to reject
vote that can be thrown around the question.
