NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Tweed's examination
and free testimony before the Alderlnanic COM
mittce, so soon after refusing to testify before
the State Senate Committee, looSs suspiciously
like intrigue for political purposes Of the a:sti-
Tildcn faction, including John Morriss*r's
whilom friend, and later bitter enemy, John
Fox. Twccd's present testimony evidently is
substantially that contained il his confession
rejected by Acknowledgement Fairchj]d, when
offered as a condition OF Twee1's release. It is
predicted that Faircllild will he set aside at the
coming State Convention for a new nominee,
who, il elected is expected to accept Twecd's
terms. His facts are fatty denied by the par
tics implicated, several Of whom have never
heretofore been suspected of anything dis
honorable.
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. S.-The informa-
tion received here from New York is to the ef-
feet that very strong demonstrations will be
made against the President III the Republican
Convention, under the lead Of Secretary Conk-
ling's friends. One letter asserts that the
Senator himself, in his capacity as delegate,
will lead this opposition. The attitude OF the
New York press in regard to the Cornell case
will, it is claimed by members of this Conklin%
faction, greatly strengthen their adherents
among the delegates to the Convention.

ABOUT one half of the official thieves

dercd the treasury of South Carolina, took
time by the forelock and fled from the
State after Wade Hampton was elected
Governor. Among the fugitivcs were

and Parker. former State Treasurer. OF
their partners in iniquity who remained
quite number have recently been arrested
and will be tried for the offences with
which they are charged. Among them are
Moses, ex Governor; Cardoza, ex State
Treasurer; Montgomery, ex-Speaker of the
Senate; Lee, colored, ex Speaker of the
House Jones, mulatto, ex-Cierk of the
House, and others. Moses is regarded as
the Tweed, or "Big Boss, )" of the precious
lot OF scoundrels, and it is generally believ-
ed, from certain expressions recently made
10y him, that lie will expose oil his former
comrades in rascality, not excepting ex-
Governor Chamberlain, who was Attorney
General during his administration. These
arrests have been made on warrants issued
by an investigating committee appointed
by the Legislature, who are doing their
work So thoroughly that the most adroit
and cunning of the thieving gang will
not escape tue vengeance of the law.

THE Republican State Convention of

The Republican State Convention of
Ohio. which met at Cleveland on Wednes-
day of last week, nominated William II.
West of Logan county, for Governor.
Mr.. West is prominent lawyer and is said
To be personally unobjectionable. One
peculiarity about him as a. candidate is
that he has unfortunately lost, or very near
ly lost, his eyesght, and laboring under so
dire a calamity ne will not be able either TO
make successful run or to see his way
clear through the coming campaign. 1t
is, in fact another case OF the blind at
tempting to lead the blind. One of the
resolutions. adopted by the convention sub
stanta!ly endorses the administration of
Mr.. Hayes. The convention was engn-
eerec 10y that blatant demagogue, Stanley
Matthews. and that other vrtuous states
man, James \. Garfield. On full vote
the State is debateable ground between
the two parties, but the better opinion is
that, owing to the strong feeling of disaf-
fection among many of the leaders in the
Republican ranks with the Southern policy
q: Hayes, the Democracy will elect Bishop
Governor and secure a majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature.

If anything approaching the violence
Northern States during the late railroad
strike had occurred in the same or less
number of Southern States, every Republi-
can newspaper in the North would have
proclaimed it as conclusive evidence of the
existence of the old rebel feeling of hostii-
ty to the Union, and wonld have demanded
that military governments should again be
placed over them. 1t is true there are not
as many miles of railroad track in the
South there are in the North, nor any,
thing like the uade and traffic Oh the for
mer that pass over the latter, but that of
itself does not account for the fact that
while turbulence ran ran riot on the roads
in one section, order aud quiet prevailed
on those in the other. Whether this re-
suit is to he atti ibuted to wiser and more
judicious management OH the part Of the
officers Of Southern railways, to fairer
treatment of the employees or to whatever
cause it may be assigned, that much abused
portion of the country is to he congrat-
ulated on having escaped the dreadful
scenes Of riot, accompanied by fearful
destruction of life and property, through
which the people of some of the great rail-
road centres in the North have been com
PEELED to pass. While the Governors of
several Northern States called for the in
terposilion Of the strong arm of the Ma
tional government to suppress disorder and
enforce the supremacy of the laws, no ex-
ecutive of Southern State availed him
self of that right, for the simple reason
that there was no necessity for doing SO.
All this is an eloquent and instructive an
swer to the foul aspersions so constantly
heaped upon the Southern people by such
demagogues James q. Blaine and
George S. Boutwell,.
