General James T.. Gordon, who spoke in
the interest OF Malone. = He also paid glow

thought that the question as to who should

important as preserving the. Conser, &c

Twced's story.

The narrative that We publish this morn
ing OF the adventures of Mr. TWEED after
his escape on Dee. 4, 1875, is very inter-
c~tng.
1t will not tend to admiration Of the
kocmnc-s Of the officers who had him in
charge. but it may restore confidence i'm
their honesty 70 know That Mr. TWEED was
carried OH 10y burglars. Various schemes
for his release had been suggested toh him 10y
criminal fellow inmates OF Ludlow street
jail. the one finally adopted being a con
tract for n specified sum to carry him oil
and deliver him safe on the coast OF Florida.
The day when all arran gcmcnts were COM
rloin was indicated To- Mr. TWEED hy a po-
,uliar mark ON the doorstep Of his house 10
Madison avenue, which he visited frequent
~. When the proper time had come,
Mr.. TWEED first gave his keepers
a banquet with plenty of wine. ami
then at the appointed moment slipped
from the house AMI into covered
wagon. which was driven bya circutous
route to "a point ON the North river not far
from the Wcehawkcn ferry landing. There
a boat was in waiting. and TWEED was taken
across the river to the Palisades. I'm the
almost untruddcn forest behind these rocky
cliil- he found shelter in a house. with pro-
tector- and guards Of the same kindas those
who had safely removed him from New
York. secluded in a spot whence he could
almost look down upon the busy city. he
was silent and deeply interested
spectator of the tumult which followed his
departure. Waiting for events with the
hope that something favorable might turn
up. hope sank within him when Mr.. OCoNOR.
as one risen from the grave. again appeared

IS partially revealed in tho narrative
Mr.. TwEEDs history since his arrival in
Spain is tolcrably familiar to the public
On Dec e. 1916, Mr.. TWEED wrote to Mr..

An impression prevails in some quarters
that If the constitutional rights Of South
Carolina and Louisiana are fully established
before the extra session Of Congress. by the
removal OF the troops and other ob-truc-
toue. the Army bill in tho old form Will pas
without difficulty. That belief IS not we'll
founded.
In the first place, II IS no concession on
the part Of the Administration t. retire IN,
troops from th" occupancy of the State.
Houses where They have been kept with
ont color of law or a prr'cxt of Justification.
There l. mo- moro occasion for AN armed
occupation n Columbia and New Orlcnn,
than ia Albany or Boston. The peace il not
disturbed There has boon no in-urrcrtion
iu-tIfying a call for Federal interference.
The troops themselves are a standing mrn-
acc 10 tranquility, by encouraging faction
which exercises no authority ami is held In
no respect beyond the trmpng ground Of
the soldier ou guard. Take hm away, and
the -hams would vanish into thin air.
The proposed reduction of tine army t.
l7pOl men with tho clause prohibiting en-
ploymeAt Of the troops To- prop up faudu-
lent Governments, was not intended as
threat to drive a bargain. First il j. part
oi the plan Of economy for cutting down
the public expenditures to a peace standard;
aud secondly, il asserts principle in yot-
ing the public money! which e thr right Of
the representatives Of tho poopl to protect
them against unlawful Intervention 10y tho
Executive and such u-urpatiou Of power as
has been witnessed during the last eight
years.
Instead of restoring the army TO the OLD
-tnndard ol 2julo men, rs is now suggested,
the rrtrcncim"nt ought 70 be- carried still
further than the ban If the last session pro-
posing reduction of 5000. M MoRRl,oS
