TWEED'S RELEASE.

TIE NEGOTIATIONS INCoAPLETE - TWEED TO BE
COMPELLED TO MAKE RESTITUTION AND FUR
NisH EVIDENCE WHICH WILL CONVICT HIS COM
PANIOSs IN CRIME.
[FEoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIIBUSh'J
ALBANY April Sin relation to tho rnmor that
Tweed would shortly be released from JAIL Att0r-
General Fairchild states that he has net given
his consent to the prisoners becoming free man.
Negotiations have been carried on between Tweed
and the Attorney General all Winter, but nothing
that the former has done yet has induced
the latter to give his promise to the
accused to release him. The success of
the negotiation depends solely upon Tweeds
ability to be of use to the State i'll the prosecution
of other Ring thieves and also in obtaining for the
city the money stolen by himself and transferred to
Others The negotiations were begun by Tweed.
His counsel John ID. Townsend, wrote letter TO
Charles VConor on the subject i'll December last.
In the following month Mr.. OConor gave up the
direction of the several Ring suits, and the
care of the against Tweed deVolycd upon
Mr. w. II. Peckham, who was made acquainted
with the negotiation by Mr.. OConor several
weeks afterward Mr. Townsend came TO this city
and consulted with the AttOrney-Gcnera on the
subject. As the result of this conference Mr. FAR
child went to New-York, and in company with MI
Peckham, visited Mr.. Tweed in Ludlow Street Jan.
No arrangement for the release OF tweed was iHauc
Mt this interview. Last week the Attorney General
again visited Tweed and with like result
The Attorney General is of the opinion that the
return by Tweed of the money stolen by INN Is not
alone sufficient to warrant his release beyond this
lie must furnish evidence toward the CONVICTION OF
his associates in the robbery OF the city. Before
being accepted as witness for the state the prisoner
will have TO offer corroborativc evidence Ill the shape
of documents as to the truth of any assertions he
NAV make regarding the guilt OF his associates.
These documents or other sources OF lnicrma-
ton the Acknowledgement will carefully ex-
anime before making any pledges as 10
the release of the prisoner. There has not been
any conversation between the Acknowledgement
and Tweed as to the amount Of the restitution that
the accused shall make TO the city that lie plum
dered The report of disagreement between ME-
Peckham and Mr. Fairchild as to the mode OF con-
Quoting legal proceedings against the King thieves
the latter declares untrue. Mr.. Peckham holds the
same position in them that lie has always held. In
conclusion. it may be stated that no agreement mas
vet been made with Tweed by the State law authorl-
ties through which he will obtain his freedom
