The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-12-07

Tweed declared in his confession the other
day that he had been In New York city poll
tics for twenty years, and although he had
searched as diligently as Diogenes, he had
yet to find an honest man, or rather. an hon
est politician. Alderman Woodward, who
succeeded him on the stand. supports him in
this position and gives even greater strength
to this proposition. Some people might feel
disnclined to believe Tweed, as he is a convict,
whereas Woodward is on the outside of the
penitentiary and O millionaire.
Il only wanted to see if you were reformed, .
said Alderman Cowing.
I'm not q reformer. | don't believe there
is man in this room who wouldn't do the
same thing" (steaU said Mr.. Woodward.
Then you have a poor opinion OF man
kind said Mr.. Cowing.
81 never saw an honest politician in my
life,'' said Woodward, "and have seen men
of all stripes, and can base my remarks on
my intimacy with them"
Such is the testimony Of one Of the leading
New York city politicians, q man who had
been thoroughly identified with its politics
for years. He meant all he said and included
himself among the dishonest politicians. He
had stolen money from the city, but declined
missed with the city for 100000, and consid-
cred any further investigation into the mat
ter impertinence His fortune was $4,000 10;
he had made this in politics; but all Of 1t had
not been stolen from the city, as he had plum
dered his confederates al well, considering
this as perfectly legitimate.
Woodward's classification OF all politicians
as thieves, is decidedly too broad; but if he
will restrict it to his fellow politicians of
New York of the Tweed regime dozen years
ago. and to those of the Southern Republican
school he has not shot very far from the
mark. Certainly not a fact connected with
the Tweed rule not an incident in the history
OF Southern Republicanism, has yet been in
vestigated or even touched, but has been
found identified with fraud theft and mis-
government. If there is an honest man in
either gang he is undi scovered.

The CAPITAL Removal.

Charleston Journal.
We have heretofore and ali along
expressed our opining that under the BAL
for the Capital election, the State Capital
would necessarily remain At Wheeling
until 1885. 1t certainly so appears on
the face of the BILL and the people so
understood it when majority OF them
voted in favor OF Charleston US the per
ntanent seat OF government OF the State.
The fact Is, we are not now realty Tor
the immediate removal OF the Capital 10
Charleston. Were the Legislature TO
pass an act providing Tor immediate
removal, it would place US IN the position
Of five years ago, when, tOT lack q RAT.
yoa d connection with the other end ei
the State, we lost the Capital; and
agitation would again commence 81 once
TO deprive us OF the present location. Let
us, instead of being III too hot haste To
possess ourselves OF the prize that has
been SO generouslyawarded to us by the
people, 90 u work TO so provide Tor the
travelling accommodation To and from
The Capital, that the pernt0He''cy OF our
acquisition may be placed beyond Gil
question. This can be effected by the
building OF either or both of the Railroads
from Charleston to Parkersburg, and from
the permanent Capital to Clsrksburg.
We maintain that we have the good
taith OF the State pledge to us; and in
return we must act in good faith. 1t Is
no difficult problem to Figures ouI' that
had the bill provided tor immediate
removal, Charleston would lot have
been victorious in the contest. There
fore, as it was by the clause allowing
Wheeling TO have it for eight years that
we secured the Capital, we should be the
rsry last to think otgoing behind the ta'0
aud getting the Legislature to override
the expires ,ed will of the people by CIV
,nG US the Capital ut once. "Let good
enough alone" is very good motto Tor
IS and our friends at this time.
