The letter of Mr. ‘Townsend referred to in Mr. Tweed’s statcment, and addressed to the Chalrman of the Committee Is as follows: N’lv: Yanx.w{tpnl 19.1‘.\" D:mhsulu: In reply to your telegram nsking me whether m; client, .\(.

I believe ‘Tweed has ot contided tho statement to any oue which, under certaln circunstances, he fs willing should become natter of publication, I have dremed ft advisable for Lis intcrests to drow up tho same in form and submit it to thao Attoroey-(ieneral of this 8tate for his con- slderation, and I belleve ho {s now engaged in determining upon & course in regard to it which will beat subserve the Interests of the people. This statement was only subuitted to him upon his assuranco - that it would be returned to me and its contents remain undivulged. Should he decline to necede to iy client's release from im- prisunment, I can conceive of no possible ad- vantage that this proposition could be ta the public, beyond the moral effect of the full ublication of 1t, unless it could ef- ect the Punuhmcnt of offenders and the recovery of money. Belfeving that these examin. ations of Tweed before the Attorney-General was prepared (6 move {n the matter might seri- ously affect the public intcrest by giving an op- ‘portuuity ta escape or maka away with thelr property, I felt compelled to advise Tweed to dtecline Lo be 8 witneas at this time: but beyond this, and as a matter cspecially affectine " him personally, I have advised Tweed to decline ex- amination at this time upon the ground ghat his answera might tend to criminate him, 1t waa admitted by Benator Woodin in his specch before tho Eenate on the 17ih fnst. that Tweed had testified In 1873 before the Senats Committee appointed to fnvestleate tho [ s _against Eeoator James Woodin, in effect ““That he had never, directlyor indirectly, paid or offered to pay money to any member of the Legislature tosecure the passage of any law.” 1f this be ao,and 1 have no reason ta doubt the carrectness of Senator Woodin’s in- vestigation of the subject, 1 feel impressed with tho propricty of such advice ot this timo, Assuring you that nothing would give me greater picasure than to see my client in a position where he could safely testify on this and kindred matters, I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, Joix D, TOWNsEND. HASTINGS, 4 PURELY DUSINESS TRANSACTIONS." New Youx, April 21.—~In the evening the Comnittes resumed its sesslon in the hotel, and Hugh J, Hastings, cditor and proprietor of the Comnurelal Advertiser, was examined. Ife has known Tweed thirty-five years. Took no active part fn the city charter in 1870. Was intercated faall Now York bills at Albany tor tweuty-tive years past. Tweed cave bim a check for $20,000 in 1870 for purely business transactions In nowise connected with legisiative matters, Got nomoney from Tweed to give Renators, nor did be receivo any to bo given to Senntor ‘Woodin. TIRONLY TRUTH Inthe World article was the giving to him of he check for $20,000, It {s false that auy pors tion was togo to Woodin. The Republicans agreed in caucus to pass the charter, henco thcre was no necessity to spend money,and it was. also agreed that the Reglstry blll was to be passed. The Regiatry bill was to bave the sup- part of Tammany, snd, the Republicana belng 1o the minority, gave way., Hasno reason to believe Woodln acted otherwise than in good falth, His husiness rclations with Tweed began In 1670. Has no recollection of recelying money from Tweed {n 1870, or in 1871, His business relations with Tweed lasted up to the organization of the yiaduct operatioy, when he, Helmont, Astor, Taylor, and Johuson wero Directons, and cven up to the cxposure of the Ring frauds, and through bLis kinduesato Lim, Hastiogs [ WENT ON HIS BAIL BONDS, He and Tweed genorally had stock transactlons.

This was at first futended to buy a house fn Fifth avenue, but bo couldBot recullect how much of that sum, Il auy, wad expended for that purpose.

THAT % CONFESSION.” OF LITTLE ACCOUNT, NEw YORK, April 21.—Tbe Heralds Albany correspondent telegraphs that the Attorney- General has not, and never haa had, in bis pos- session at Albany an original confession of Tweed's or any of the vouchers required to sub- atantiste it. The only doctments hie has are ab- stracts of intended confessions to be made in casc an arrangement for Tweed's relcare was concluded, which fucluded referencea partly from memory and partly from documents imme- distely under the control of Tweed In Ludlow strect, to a suflicient extent to substantiate the sllemations generally, but not to furnish spe- cific proof of particular transactions, The sup~ plemental confession relative to the Court of Appeats Judges {8 of the same nature, and the original datafor bothwill be delivered only when the terms and date of Tweed's release are fivally agreed upon. The abstracts are not very bulky, and were made out at the sugyestion of Charies U'Conor, as a basis upon which the At- torney Gencral could form his opinfon upon the advisabllity of rccommending the paraon of Tweed. 7 o COMMENTS.
