accounts in July, 1871, Tweed says, Francis
N. Bixby and ex-Sherif, then State Senator,
JAS O'Brien came to him and offered to save
him against any further investigation of his
bank accounts, his relations with the city or
indeed from any furtLer trouble, if he would
pay $3.50, 600, towards O'Brien's claim against
the city tor $3.50, 100, tor unpaid fees. The
TIVE represented to him, Tweed, that they had
such influence over Mr.. Tilden, Judge Bar
rett and VIM. G.. Barrett as to immediately
quash any further steps in
the pending investigation. Tweed says
he paid them so, 600 in cash and mortgages
which they afterwards collected. For the
rest, he understands, they atterward secured
the same amount from Connolly upon the
same representation. He says he does not
consider O'Brien's claim has any real merit.
Tweed says the Navarro claim OF one mil
lion dollars against the city tor water meters
is fraud.
He mentions Thurlow Weed by name but
does not connect him with any equivocal
transaction
He mentions Judge Folger OF the court OF
appeals and Geo. Il. Purser Of New York, as
persons to whom he paid the money.
The Attorney General has the proposition
under consideration and will probably accept
it and release Tweed. Judge Falger, Senator
Wooden and Hugh Hastings, put in prompt
denlals. The confession wakens great con-
sternation.

The President declines to act upon the re-
quest "a, under the present circumstances,
he would not be justified in making decis.
ion. Owing to the disagreement Of the Nioh-
oils and Packard parties, and the anrrom,s-
ing prospects OF an accommodation, the COM
missioners ask for further instructions, which
will be sent after Cabinet session. A tel

by the Nichols government, and will await
the Presidents approval before submitting
the matter to Packard. The Nichols Senate
has passed resolutions pledging support OF all
the constitutional amendments and Packard
has written another letter to the President
protesting against the withdrawal of troops.
The Commission interviewed Pack

unite the two rlval Legislatures was regarded
by Packard as a very good plan tor the Dem

not.
