The TWEED REVELATIONS.
John MOrri>ey Tells Where Part of the
Money Went.

New YORK. September II. The Sun prints an
interview with John Morri,ey on the Tweed reve-
lations. Morrisey says James B1en is fool.
No doubt he assigned part of his claim to Tweed,
and another par, II Connolly.
Morrsey bad $4,000 of the mortgages himself
in payment of money due, which he afterwards
sold to Senator Bxhy. The latter bought nearly
all the mortgages O'Brien had. Morrisey saws
Tweed had two mistlesses for years, one of whom
lived within stone throw of his house on Fifth
Avenue, and IN the summer as near his residence
in Greenwich.
Wheeler and Peckham traced to one of these
women more than q million dollars of public
money. Tweed gasnted her from Maine to Cal
norma and through the streets of New York in
defiance of public decency. While be and his
band of robbers IN authority he corrupted
everybody and everything from the highest to
the lowest He even controlled the courts.
Morrisey continued: al organized the fight of
what was known as the young democracy, and
remaining there nearly four months. | persuad-
ed Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Greeley to go there and
speak against the ring charter.
Greeley was ANXIOUS to have an election law for
the protection of voters and the ring agreeing to
give him one, he withdrew his opposition to the
charter. 1t cost the ring million dollars 10 car
ny that charter through the legislature.
After the exposure of the Ring in 1871, pur-
suaded Mr.. Tilden to go to the Rochester conven-
ton, and attack them.

been any way connected with them. He asked
what meant by such question, and told him no
man could steal and fight at the same time.
If your hands are clean, said |, 90 in and fight
them but if you have stolen anything keep
away" Monisey considers this investigation as a
job of kelleys TO implcate him, and re desires
the committee to subpoena and ask him any ques-
ton about the ring.

ture. aud the defeat of Tammany Hall in this

The Catholics of Hallowell held meeting on
Sunday afternoon, to consider the question of
erecting church structure on the lot of land
purchased by them some four years ago, situated
on Second street in that city. The people Of this
denomination who reside in IIallowel have been
obliged for years to come to Augusta to attend d.
vine service, and are making persistent efforts
to have church of their own. The result of the
meeting was very satisfactory, for funds were
pledged GA the spot, which, with goodly sum
already on hand, will be sufficient to warrant the
commencement Of building operations at once.
Negotiations are now pending with contractors,
and it is expected that before winter fairly sets in
the church will be ready for occupation.
On Sunday evening last, the Episcopal service
was translated to an audience of deaf mutes, by
Mr.. Job Turner Of Virginia, who will return TO
Augusta and give another sermon in about two
months The service was interesting snd certain
ly novel. 1t also showed with what Amazing &C
curacy ideas may be expressed by signs, to people
who have never heard word or sound during
their whole existence. Mr.. I u ner is said to be
the best instructor and interpreter in the Ulited
States, which is truly wonderful, as he has never
heard or spoken word in his life. He is very
we'll educated gentleman, writes a clear distinct
hand, and is greatly interested in his work of in
structon, which he is csriy ing on in many of the
Northern states. He is soon to be ordained as
