New YORK, June Is.
Tweed's friends are much discour
aged bv the failure OF the authorities
to accept his States evidence against
his ring associates and set him free.
There is reason to believe that the fail
ure was caused by cOunte evidence,
showing that much of T~eed's rroffer-
ed testimony would he oyerw helmed
by rebutiing evidence; and also that
he transferred to Europe the proceeds
Of a large amount Of property, which
is still within his control, and ought
to he surrendered to the city from
which it was plundered. 1t now APP
pears that the imputations made
against Senator WOOdin were wholly
false, as regards the latter, but truth
fully applied to one Wood; and that
WOodin'S name was substituted be-
cause he was larger game, and his des-
truction would therefore command a
larger rate in calculating The price of
Tweed's release. 1t is now said, pri-
vately, that Tweed can escape from his
dangerous criminal Indictment only
by such liberal cash settlements OF
civil suits. as it is believed he still has
mean to make. Among future prob
able developments is the alleged fac,

spoils passed through the hands OF
Peter b. Sweeney's brother James,
now deceased, upon whose estate the
Sweeney settlement was made; and
also that about three eighths of the
500 900 paid out OF said estate, WAS the
balance of his share remaining in
S~weeney's hands when he died. Those
in II position 10 know say Peter i.
Sweeney's Endorsement has not been
found on a single check or other pa
pers which are suspected Of represent
ing any part Of the rings financial
transactions.
The movement to make Hendricks
the next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, is gathering considerable
head. II is privately declared that
Tilden's friends were pledged to Hem
bricks for the next nomination before
he agreed to accept the second place at
the st. Louis Conventions; but Hem
bricks friends think Tilden still i'll the
field, unless the next Congress will
take steps to seat him in Hayes place,
of which some agitators still madly
dream.

The report that the President and
Sherman had a conferences last night
