NEW YORK, June %.
Attorney General Fairchild, in a re-
port to Governor Robinson upon the
ring suits, incloses the report from
Peckham and Nash, counsel for
the people in the action against
Peter B. Sweeney, which says the
case against Sweeney differed from hat
against any other OF the prosecuted in
that he was not a member OF the
Board Of Audit or al officer charged
with any duty in respect to the claims
fraud ulently paid. Except the evil
dence OF Ingersoll there was no testi-
mony to show him to have been a
party to the conspiracy for the audit
and payment OF these fraudulent
claims. He proceeds at some length
to defend his action in the case, espe-
cially regarding the settlement, show
ing that S%weeney's entire property
was when the case began not worth
over $3.50, 900, and its sale was consid-
cred unpolitic. Replying to Town
sends accusations, Fairchild puts quite
a different view on the Tweed transac
ton and negotiations. Regarding the
written statement, he says when Tweed
was examined his testimony showed
that he would be of substantial value
in the Sweeney action and actions in
which the city was defendant. In re-
gard to the latter, however, Tweed iE
his written statement made an asser-
ton which rendered his testimony
nearly valueless. This assertion he
contradicted when examined by the
corporation counsel. There was then,
i'll my Judgement, a fatal vari-
ance between his deliberate wri-
ten statement and his verbal
statement. Tweed, after a careful ex-
animation, seemed useless as a wit
ness in any action, especially as Town
send, who was urging the release of
Tweed, had himself accepted a retainer
from Sweeney in a case where Tweed
was expected to give testimony. One
practical suggestion was, however,
made by Tweed's counsel that Tweed's
old checks should be privately taken
to those whose naine were upon them
and the checks offered to them upon
payment of their face value. Town
send thought many of these persons
would be glad to say themselves from
the notification of having the fact made
public of their having had Tweed's
checks, and thai others might be made
afraid. This was to be done with ali
the checks, no matter to what purpose
they had been given. Townsend urged
me to do this and collect the money
for this service. He said he would
charge only ten per cent. upon the
amount collected, and the balance
could go to the treasury of the city.
l rejected this on account of It's law
lessness and immortality.
There was a large business to-day in
Government bonds at an advance of
H@% per cent. In some cases the de-
mand was chiefly for the new SIS, To-
40's, 1865 and Az per cents. The
Bank of Nevada was accredited with
considerable purchases, and it was said
that institution very recently took, i'm
a quiet sort of a way, from ten to fifteen
million of the new Al per cents.
Conspicuous Violation OF the Presi.
dents Late order A Border
Commission.
WASHINGTON, June %.
Hon. James +. Wilson, who was re.
appointed Government Director of the
Union Pacific Railroad lately, is the
first Government officer who has
openly violated the Presidents order
prob. biting office-holders from taking
part in political conventions. The
President said, just before leaving for
the East, that he should make a special
example of the first case of neglect to
conform to his order. There has been
general speculation to-day over the
probable action of the President with
this prominent officer.
1t is announced by authority that a
proposition will be laid before the
Cabinet, upon the return Of the Presi
dent, to appoint a mixed. commission
TO have jurisdiction of predatory Of
lenses committed within fifty miles on
each side Of the Rio Grande. 1t Is be-
lieved by this means that the Mexican
border troubles IA be suppressed.
The matter has already been consid.
cred 10y the President, who regards it
favorably.

DEE, goes to the Rio Grande to visit

Wednesday TO join Lerdo there.
