range. The old man is very frank,
and speaks Of his operations with
out reserve. He has ne squeamish-

the fight Of Oakley Hall is no long.
er . mystery, for Tweed duplicates
him in the ring rebberies, and it
Was the dread that he would make
. full confession that impelled Hall
t. jump the country. And then
there are parcel Of Republicans
officials who are implicated, and any
quantity Of Democrats, who were
distinguished for the fervsncy Of
their denunciation Of the old man
after he fell into disgrace. In
fact, it seems that those who were
the NEST fervent in denouncing him
were, as q rule, the most guilty.
OF course they all deny, and every
one of those whom Tweed has i'm
plicated has HE documents all ready
to prove his innocence, bat it went
do. They can't account for the
houses they live in, the carriages
they ride in, the yachts they sail,
or the money that pays for all these
things. These fortunes are too
large for honest accumulation, and
no one in New York doubts that
Tweed has told . straight, unvar-
nished, and true story. The old
man seems determined to 20 clear
through it, whether it does him any
good or not.
Now that the rife matches are
all over, the American teams are
soothing their defeated competitors
by showing them the country. To-
day the Englishmen are up the
sound, on yachts, and tits proposeP
to continue the excursion all the
way up the New England coast, il
the weather continues pleasant.
The Englishmcn say that they were
fairly beaten, and the Americans
are the bcst in every respect. But
they are going home to practice a
year, and will come back, to win
the next timo. And the Americans
respond, if you do beat us, We shall
take it as pleasantly as you de.
The match has been q very pleasant
one, there has not been q particle
of ill-feeling or bad blood, from FIRST
to last. The arrangements we're
perfect, and the utmost courtesy
and consideration has been shown
on both sides.
The Ninth Ward Association for
the suppression of intemperance
held a meeting last night, and there
were some speeches made which
will sound quecrly to rigid temper
ance people. Rev. DIR. Crosby one
Of the noted divinss of the city,
made q speech in which he took the
ground that temperance men lost
BY undertaking too much. In this
crusade he proposed to direct all
his energies to the destruction OF
the whiskey doggeriss. He would
not attempt to close the bars in the
respectable hotels, for there the
trade was in the hands Of respecta-
bic men, who kept it in some sort
Of order. He was net going to as
ssult the lager beer sellers, or the
sellers Of light wines, for those bev-
sragss did not craze the brain.
eff every whiskey shop said the
Dr., "could be changed into lager
beer saloon, We should have reason
20 thank God" What he wanted
to do was to fight the villainous
vhiskey. and "a making that fieht
thew would have the assistance : Of
the lager beer drinkers, and that
great mass who drink light bevers-
