TWeed.s Disclosures.

We copy from the World what appears 10
be an epitome Of the long-promised disclos-
ures Of WILLIAM NJ. TWEED. We do not
wish TO be understood IA vouchlng for the
absolute correctness Of this abstract Of what
is doubtless much more elaborate docu-
ment, but probably II * IN the main faithful
70 the original, and the disclosures thcu-
selves are in substance unquo-tionably true.
The striking feature OF these revelations J..
that they implicate so many prominent aad
Influential Republicans. That the OLD Tam
many Ring and its immediate satellites were
Involved in the conspiracy for robbing th-
city and ultimately shared in the plumber
nobody doubted. Hence, few will be sur
prised to find the namo Of Mayor HALL
added TO the list Of culprits. Like PETER b.
SwEENY, he pocketcd his ten per cent Of the
btealings, and the threatened introduction
OF this fact TO the light OF open day is amply
Sufficient to account for the clandcstine dee
parturo Of Mr. HALL 10 foreign lands.
When 1t was seen with what alacr.ty many
Republicans in the Old Board Of Supervisors
ratified the enormous and cXtorti lills
which the Boss and his accompicos from
time to time carried through the board, it
Tas sarcwlly suspected that these poll .ical
opponents Of TWEED who had been e0ctod
Tor the very purpose Of keeping n strict
watch upon their Democratic associates, re-
ceived compensation for their votes il some
substantial mode. Therefore, the public
will not be astOnishod to learn that such
active Republican Supervisors MS Henry
SMITH and ISAAC j. OLIVER took pay in
cash for their services as they went along.
The largest outlay for Republican aid in
the robbcries OF tho Ring was during the
legislative session OF $40 Tho chief in
strument for plunderinS the city was the
charter passed in that year Il completely
rcmodelled all departments Of tho muuici-
pality, opening n wide door for TWEED,
HALL, SwEESY, CONNOLLY, and their as
sociatcs upon whom tho important Offices
were bestowed. This charter created the
famous Board OF Audit, through whose
operations the city was lleecol Of millions
al money IL was always believed that
bribery aud corruption on largo scale in
the Legislature procured the enactment Of
this charter; but this could not bo proved
because those who knew the facts would not
open thCir mouths TWEED has now done
this IN the affidavit and other proofs he has
placed In tho hands Of Attoney-Gonora
FAHCHILD. To secure tho passage Of thD
bin, It seems that he paid 100000
IN cash to NORRIS WISsLow, a Re
