Tweed and Tilden.

We learn by private advices from New
York. that there is growing impression
In business circles in that city, that the
reason why Attorney-General Fairchild
has not assented TO the release of Boss
Tweed. as proposed by his counsel, is
fear that the evidence vi the chief of the
"Tammany Ring" would damage the rep
utations of some of his former associates
who are claiming to be "reiormers." By
accepting that proposition, it is probable
that nearly six millions of dollars would
be recovered, and the fact that the Attor-
ney General, who is a tool of Gov. Til
den, neglects the opportunity to secure it.
naturally attracts suspicion, not small
portion of which falls upon the old asso-
ciate Of Tweed. the recent democratic
candidate for President. Public attention
is so fully aroused, that efforts will be
made to drive the Attorney General out of
Office if he does not fully and satisfacto-
rily answer the accusation of the counsel
of Tweed, which are made with direct
ness and in a positive manner that have
created suspicious against Governor Til
den in circles where his professions in
favor of Reform" have heretofore been
believed. The fact that Charles OConor
has Withdrawn from the case because he
was unwilling to reveal to Gov. TiIden
everything which Tweed might tell him
at proposed private interview, creates
the suspicion that the activity of the ex-
Governor in these suits against the "ring"
has been inspired, not by a regard for
the Interests OF the public so much as by
the desire that he might be in a position
TO prevent any revelations that would
damage himself. Tilden is the only prom
inent associate OF Tweed whose connec-
tons with The "ring" frauds have not been
revealed, and there is growing impress.
