THE TALE-TELLER.
Boss Tweed Continues His
Narrative of Bribery and
Corruption.
Astounding Disclosures of the Disgrace
full Doings of Men in High Places.

New York Sept. 6.-The examina.
tion of VIM. NJ. Tweed was resumed
to-day before the committee of alder
men. He said that in the senate ring
he paid members for voting on bill,
and in committee of the whole al
lowed them to vote as they pleased but
not on the final passage. Their names
were not recorded when voting in COM
mittee of the whole, but were recorded
on the final vote.
Attorney General Fairchild having
stated during the week that Tweed, in
the so-called confession submitted to
him, had not mentioned having sub
sidized the Albany Argus and the
Journal. He mentioned the name of
Apgar, assistant secretary of state.
Tweed replied that he had not spe-
cifically mentioned these parties, but he
offered to become witness in any
suit in which he might be called, and
to give evidence of numbers of frauds
upon the city and state treasures
which he did not then recollect. He
could, however, substantiate all he had
said, and can produce checks and let
ters in support of his assertions. One
letter congratulated Tweed on his per-
sonal victories and the success of his
party, which letter said it would ''be a
good thing for them Journal people
next year." Regarding the explana-
tion of E. P. Apgar regarding his rela-
tions with Tweed, witness had read a
letter from Apgar, written in 1870,
stating that he was in debt for board,
clothes, ETC., and asked Tweed to add
to his many former favors by procur-
ing him the payment of his salary, so
that he (Apgar) could hquidate his
clothes and board bills. Other letters
were also read by Tweed, showing that
VIM. Cassidy, of the Argus, had sought
appointments from him, and that
Hastings had expressed very warm SEN
timents.
Tweed repeated his statement that
he paid 100000 to the board of alder
men of this city to pass a resolution
authorizing the appropriation by the
city of million and half dollars for
a bridge. The money was paid and
witness got his share from Henry C.
Murphy. This was in 1870. Connolly
also got his percentage. Witness
knew Kingsley, who had supervising
control of the bridge, and had an in
terest in the quarries which furnished
the stone. He knew because he wanted
that himself, but found that Kingsley
was too strong for him and was in his
way.

THE nomination of Gen. Mcclellan
for governor Of New Jersey by. the
Democracy is construed by sagacious
politicians as having significance
above and beyond simply making him
governor Of that state-that his nomi-
nation is the first step toward bringing
him before the country as the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1880.
The men who unexpectedly thrust the
name Of Mcclellan on the convention
and engineered his nomination believe
he will be elected by an overwhelming
majority, and that thus the alleged fact
of his great popularity will be estab-
lished, and it will be made apparent
that he is the most available man for
the Democracy as their standard
bearer in the great national political
campaign Of 1880. Should the expec-
tations of the politicians who secured
Gen. McClellan's nomination be re-
allied in his election to the governor
ship of New Jersey by triumphant
and overwhelming majority, the pur-
pose of making him the Democratic
candidate for President will then be
openly pronounced, and the work Of
accomplishing that result vigorously
entered upon.

Attractions at Gilmore's Garden.
New York, Oct. 6.-General disgust
has been excited hereabouts by the pub
lication of the statement that S1025
was paid for the appearance Of the
American rifle team in Gilmore's Gar
den on the occasion of the recent pre-
sentation of the Centennial trophy and
other prizes to the victorious marks
men. Major General Dakin, who was
captain of the team, Indignantly denied
the story and declared that every one
of the American team would testify to
the falsehood of the story. ''Any
man, said he, ''who received a dollar
from the management of Gilmore's
Garden was a fraud. The American
team asked for no money, received none
and authorized nobody to collect any,
Mr.. Bruce, who, in the international
match made 219 points out of a possible
225, refuted the action in u card. 1t
now turns out that the money was paid
to the team, but for and in behalf OF
the National Rifle association. "A high
officer of that organization says that
before the contest arrangements had
been made with the proprietors of Gill
more's Garden by which sum was tc
be paid the association. Last year the
share of receipts received by the asso
ciation was $500. 1t was the plan Of
the association and the team hat
nothing to do with it. The arrange
ments made were for half of the net re
ceipts, which went toward paying The
expenses Of the tournament, presenta
tion dinner. etc.

London. Oct. 6.-From Moukhtar
Pasha's latest dispatch it seems that
the Russians have withdrawn from the
right and centre of his line and concen-
trated their entire army at Aktochkala
on Kars-Tschat, fifteen miles northeast
of Kars. This is undoubtedly the great
est and most critical affair of the war
in Asia-Minor. The object of the at
tack is to cut Moukhtar off, drive him
under the walls of Kars, and shut him
up there. If this fails the second cam
paign in Asia will be over.

E. L. Davenport.

E. L. Davenport, the famous tragedau, died
at Canton, Penn, Saturday forenoon at the
age Of 81 years. He was the son of q hoteI
keeper and was born in Boston. His first
appearance on the stage was made in Provi-

hit as the Yankee Jedediah, in the play of

appearance in New York at the Bowery
Theatre, and subsequently was very successful
in the part of Count Montalban in the Honey
moon. In 1S47, with Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt
Ritchie, he made tour through England,
when he played Claude Melbotte and became
great favorite. At the conclusion of this en-
gagement he played second to Macready and

Macready's farewell the great English actor in

of considerable merit, who afterward appeared

Prosperity Oh Paper.

Mr.. Ell. V. Redfeld is writing series of let.
ters on the labor question for the Philadelphia
Times and Cincinnati Commercial. 1t the first
of these he brings out the following COMPARE
son,
"The census OF 1870 is marvellous study, or
rather, study of marvellous things. That
nothing has been gained by the stimulation of
war and intlalion, but much lost, we will find
when the census reports of 1880 are in, for the
wealth of the country will be less than in 1870.
Everything tends to show this, the shrnkage
in values being so marked as to carry US below
the point supposed to have been attained in
1870. The development of the country was
so rapid between 1906 and 1870 that decade
or two was anticipated We drew heavily up
on the future, discounting drafts on posterity
which suddenly turn up with accumulated in
terest.'
How clearly is this shown to US when we
compare the census returns of 1860 with those
OF 1880 and find that the wealth of the country
doubled in that time ION paper and much by
reason OF paper notwithstanding that two
thousand millions of dollars in slave property
counted in the figures of 1860 that did not
count in 1870, and further, that at least two
thousand millions of other property was wasted
aud destroyed by war in that decade. Yet get
ting rich all the time! Doubling the wealth of
the country in ten years!
Think of it moment. If the United States
should increase in wealth for fifty years as rap
idly as between 1860 and 1870, we would be
worth more than all the rest of the world COM
bined; more than it would bring if put up at
auction on long time aud easy payments. Is it
possible for tthe United States, within the life
of man, to accumulate more wealth than all
the world has been able to accumulate isince
Noah landed from the ark? Yet this is precise
ly to the conclusion the census of 1870 leads.
And that, too, when half the country was raw
aged by war, and thousands of millions of dol
lars in property wasted and destroyed. To
such false conclusions does initiation and the
attendant fever of speculation lead. Following
these years of initiation, war, speculation. ex-
travagance, waste, premature development ex-
cessive expansion Of credit, financial kite-hy-
ing and stock gambling, drafts and posterity at
heavy discount, have come years of prostra-
ton, stagnat'on, business misery, bankruptcy,
loss and ruin.
What ridiculous commentary on initiation
is this: In the decade following L1S6O which in
cludes four years of disastrous and costly war,
we double in wealth ION paperl and in the de
cade following 1870, with no war or great dis
aster, we seem destined to show a marked de-
crease! This borrowing from posterity and
stmuiating the country too an abnormal pros
perlty before its tine, don't seem to pay 10 the
long rum"
