A Depth of Corruption that Would Put Our County Board to the Blush. The Parties with Whom the Great Thief Divided the Plunder. Who Furnished the Money to Buy the Patriotic Legis- lators. List of the Bribed, and the Money Their “Influence” Oost. ‘forty Thousand Dollars the Ruling Price of Your Average Senator. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. New York, Sept. 15.—Tweed’s examination was continued to-day. The exciting part of his testimony was that regarding the amounts paid to influence legislation and the admission that he had personally bribed members of the Legis- lature. ‘The gravest charge waé against Senator Woodin, the most influential member in the Legislature, aud the man John Kelly is most anxious to dispose of. The same charge was made at the time of Tweed’s pretended con- fession, wos investigated by a Senate Commit- tee composed of a majority of Democrats, and was thoroughly retuted. Asa further offset to Tweed’s testimony con- cerning bribery, it will be recalled that in 172, when used as a witness, he swore he had . NEVER PAID A DOLLAR or made an effort to iuiluence legislation. His present statements put him on record as a pef- jurer, and are probably made in’ the hope of gaining Kelly’s favor as the only hope of re- Tease from Ludlow-Street Jail. Tur 1870 CHARTER. Ta relation to the charter of 1370, Tweed said: It was prepared partially by Oakey Tall, par~ tially by Sweeny, Cornelius Corson, and Aiex- ander Freer. lhada little to do with it my- self. Mr. Hitchman had something to do with it, and most of the mombers ot Tammany had something to do with it, either directly or by their suggestion. Q.—Was tbat charter passed through the Legislature fairly, or was moncy paid to secure its passage? ‘Money was used. Q.—Do you know personally of any member of the Assembly being paid for his vote in refer- ence to this charter? A.—I don’t think Ido of the Assembly. Q.—Do you know personaify of avy member of the Senate having been paid for his vote in that regard? A.—Ido. In the year 1870 the old Board of Supervisors CEASED TO EXIST by a speciat law, and the power to audit Dills was placed in the hands of the Mayor, Cou- troller, and President of the Board of Public Works. Tall was Mayor, Richard B. Connolly Controller, and Tweed President of the Board. Q.—Who prepared those clauses which gave the control to these three-men?) A.—The first time I saw it was in the Delavan House. There were present Sweeney, Hall, Connolly, and my- self. I believe it was PREPARED BY HALL. Q.—Was the matter talked over at that meet- ing, and the powers they wave?. A.—Yes. Q.—Was anything said that the powers given the Controller, the Mayor, aud the present President of the Department of Public Works would enable them to make money for them- selves? A.—I don’t know that there was so much said in reference to making, but it was to reimburse them and those who had advanced se quent acts gave the control of the C: iment into the hands of those parties. Q.—The object was to enable you three men to raise money to reimburse yourselves and oth- ers for money expended in the passage of the charter? A.—That was ONE OF THE REASONS. *Q.—Who furnished the money to be used in procuring the passage of the charter?» A.—Va- rious tradesmen and politicians. Q.—Mention the nazne of the tradesmen who furnished money, so far as you recollect, for the purpose of bribing the Legislature of 1871 to pass the charter of that year? A.— James H. Ingersoll, Keyser & Co. E. A. Woodward, James A. Watson, aud Edward Boyle. I cant recall all the pther names, but . most of. those who had any dealings with us at the time contributed. Tne Erie Railway con- tributed something. Q.—Through whom?. A.—Through Jay Gould or Fisk, or both. ‘I think the money was hand- ed in through Peter B. Sweeny, although I ain not positive. A NICE LITTLE ARRANGEMENT. , Q.—How was the money raised to buy the passage of the charter of 1870? A.—A large part of it by bills jointly of Connolly and Smith made payable to my order, or Connolly and myself made payable to Sith, or Smith and imysclf made payable to Connolly, as the case might be. The money was got from the Broadway Bank as 2 general thing. They were made payable to iy order. Q.—Did you use it personally in influencing members of the Legislature? A.—I did. Q—Did you pay it yourself to them? A.— Yes, to some of them. What was paid to the members-of the Legislature was paid through E. D. Barber, who generally did a good deal of business in that line. Q.—Did you give money to Barber for the express purpose of bribing mefnbers of the Legislature to vote for that bill? A.—Yes, sir. Q.—How much mouey? A.—I have no idea. UUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Q.—Two bundred thousand dollars? A.—Oh, yes; about three’ times that~$600,000 T think "3 the amount «iven him. -—Did you pay that money in money or checks? A.—I paid it to bim altorether in money, except that after the adjournment of, the Legislature there were $80,000 $40,000, or $50,000 to be pafd, and he came to New York and I GAVE HIM A CHECK FOR IT. Z Q.—The check afterwards came back to you indorsed? A.—Yes. Before naming the Senators to whom money was paid for their votes, Tweed called for a Senate manual, ‘as his relations with the Senators were Oo many and his operations so numerous, he was warned by counsel to be ¥ery careful as he was dealing with the reputa- tiuns of prominent public men. Tweed then narrated THE ORIGIN OF THE CHARTER in the dissatisfaction of prominent Democrats, who resolved to oust the then Mayor, Comp- troller, and other officers, and who worked so Vigorously as to alarm Tammany. Tweed sent for Hugh Hastings and got his aid, payiug him. $20,000 for it, a3 heretofore stated. He continued: I told Hastings what I wanted. He suggested the best way would be to see cer tain Seuators, and, if possible, have a caucus of Repudlican Senators called, and induce them to support our charter. On this hint 1 saw espe- cially Senators Winslow, Woodin, Bowen, Miner, and Wood. At Hastings' suggestion I spoke to Wood, with whom I had dealings before, and with Bowen and Minier. Wood was rather a QUIET, RESERVED MAN, and I had not at any time spoken much to him except to pass the time of theday. On the day Lcame from New York, agentleman with whom Thad much dealing at that time came to me and said if I wanted any help in reach- ing other Senators, he could furnish it. He said be could get other Senators for 5 apiece. Aday or two afterward hin Hastie suggested if I could secure Sei support it would be a source of strength, as he stood very high i the party; 50 I met W odin one day in the library hall of the Senate Cham- ber. Ysaid to him, “ You are not going against me inthis matter. This ie a personal fight if they succeed they will great in against me; -and remove me from my position as. Strect Commissioner.” He ‘said no, be did uo want to fight against. me, but that Nortou was a very clever gentleman, who bad: frequently helped him, ud he would like to help him out, like to help me out! Tsaid, Wouldn't you Nie said, “You take it very earnestly.” 1 said 1 did, that 1 would aes DO ANYTHING MAN He then to pyevent myself from beiug beaten. ge tu me about the loss of my position, and spol au it would be worth a great deal to to c- tain it, and Isaid I wonld be willing to pay auything to secure my object. I imow that money came up in the course of the conversation, but by whom it was first tnentioned Lcould not be positive. That was the purpose of the con- yersation. I talked urouud hfin to get a propo sition: of some kind from him. I reported that interview to Winslow and Hastings, and both of them said, ‘1 guess you can get the old mas.” The next day I TALKED TO HIM AGAIN andhe came to my room that night. I told him I had talked’ with other Republican Senators on the subject; I talked {vith Seasrs. Wood and Winslow, and they thought it better the money should be placed in one hans hands. I said, 1 have got this thing all right, and I um sure to win any how, But T would prefer to have the Republicans.on my side to. cover up all possible deficiencies. suggested that the Kepublicaus in caucus should resolve to support me. I told bim what they did in caucus nobody should know any- thing about, and if that was the result they could say a ote ned the action of because they were foverne iy their party Foret told him also that any relations he had with: me would be secret, and if he did anything in the matter thet would be the end of it. De said, ‘1 know you are all right, und I ain’t afraid to trust you.” He'sald to me “ What other Republicans have you got??? Isaid, “1f1 cannot get you Iwill not tell you the others.” I spoke to hint about Mr. Winslow. The next day I had another interview with him, andI said the same thing tohim. Isaid Iwas going to PAY THES $40,000 EACH, _ and he asked i7 I could not make it $50,000. | Q.—Who asked that? A.—Woodiv. I said no; that I did not propese aud could not afford to give more than $40,000, and he said he would go with the others. IT said, * Shall 1 ey the $40,000 yourself?” and he said, *No3 Twill do with you as with the rest.” ‘Isaid, “I will hand itto Winslow.” He said, “Do tho same with me as you will with the others.” * : A short time after Hastings informed me that there was A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, and that that was the result; and, in fact. I knew already. When the bill came up, every Republican voted for it, according to the caucus determination, except Mr. Thayer. Q.—Were these the only Senators which you had dealings with regarding this matter?’ A.— I bought. some of the others also. Q.—How? A.—By giving them places. Q.—Tel! what Democrats you bought, and with what places? A.—I cannot tell that. iy got them appointments © where they drew monthly salaries WITHOUT DOING ANY WORK. Q.—I want to know what other members of the Senate you bought ? A.—I gave places tb Sen- ator Frost, of the First District, and places to his friends. I appointed sixty men for him at 50'and $3 a day, who did no work, but whose names Were on the pay-roll. .—Did you agree to do that if he would vote for this bill? A.—Yes; Michael Norton I agreed to help in his business matters in’ New York. Cauldwell got a place for his partner, Mr. Whitney, which was not to be less than $20,000 ayear, Lf it was less 1 was to MAKE IT UP TO THAT. Winslow [ gave money to as I'stated before. Elwood—f think I gave him money. William Brand [ gave money to, I think 35.600. Q.—Did you sive money to Woodin person- ally? A.—No; but through Mr. Winslow. Q.—Did you have any conversation subse- ly with Woodin in respect to this mat- .—I did. That matter was settled all 8, 2 te right, and. he said it was. Tweed charged that the checks drain for the Senators had been purloined by O'Bricu Bryant, who still held them. As to Senator Minier, Tweed said the talk with him was positive and direct, and the understanding was that he (Tweed) was VERY ANXIOUS TO PASS THE BILL. nator Woodin's'| ° Winslow Elwood and Willian HI.

O'Brien Bryant has some of them. I offered Senator Manierre $10,000. He asked $25,000, saying we were all getting rich in New York. Some’ talk was had witn Bouen and Wosd. Finally they settled on $40,000. Mr. Boben came to me and said he understood I was _anxi- ous to pass this bill, and asked me for $10,000 for his support. Thenext day be asked $50,CU0.

Cotuunus,- 0., Sept. 15.—Considerable ex- citement exists over the finding of a coat and hat on the bank of the Little Walnut River, near Groveport, ia this county. The articles were identified as belonging to Edward Dyer, a stock-deater. When the articles were shown in Groveport suspicion was wroused at once that Dyer had been murdered, a3 it was known that he had ‘been to this city to procure funds. It appears that Dyer left Groveport lust night to go into the country seven miles distant for the purpose of paying for atock. Near where the articles were found on the river-bank there were’ indications that a seuflle had taken place. While in this city yesterday Dyer drew ‘$494. the package being quite bulky, the money beiong wrapped up in a newspaper before leaving the bank. He was advised to be very cautious, .as the city wa infested with a large class of dangerous charac- ters, to which he replied thut he had: carried moncy before. Near the point where the scuffle appeared to have taken place was found four quarters and a one dollar bill. To-day Brooks, Butler & Co., bankers, recciv- ed atelégram from iamilton, Reimer & Co., Pittsburg, asking if Dyer had checked all his mouey out. ‘The bankers replied in the affirma- tive. It has been tne custom of Dyer to check ont funds to farmers. Last. week he bought some hogs of a man named Long, and gave a check tor $900, Mr. Long, upor presenting the check, found there was no money. Dyer had PRESIDENT HAYES.

Fremont, 0., Sept. 15.—The last of the vet- erans of the Twenty-third Regiment left this morning, and the town seems unusually quict after the unwouted bustle of. yesterday. At 11 o'clock the President, Mrs. Hayes, their three sons, Birchard, Webb, and Rudd, and nieces Miss Platt aud Mrs. Gen. Mitchell, Secretary McCrary and wife, and Gen. Kosecrans, Gen. Gen. Kiefer, Carroll, Senator Matthews, Gen. and Mre. Kennedy, Judge M. F. Force, and R. C. Anderson and daugh- ter, left on © special car provided by Geveral-Manager Brown, of the Cincinnati, Lafayette & Chicago Railway at Clyde. Gen. Carroll left the party, being obliged to returo te his home in Washington City. The party was here joined by General-Mauager Brown, Mrs. Brown. the Hon, John Gardener, Mrs. Gardener, J. O. Moss, Vice-President of the Nationa! Bank of Sandusky, and Mrs. Moss. The latter party came from Sandusky in the priate coach belonging to Mr. Moss, a moving palace, into which the Presidéntial party was immediately conducted. This car was most beautifully decorated with flowers, the offering and work of Judge Ww. J. Lane, of Sandusky, an old class-mate of President Hayes. The Presi- dential party will reach Cincinnati at 7:40 this evening. “ AT KENSON. Kenroy, O., Sept. 15.—The special train bear- ing President Hayes and party arrived here at 2:15. Several hundred people, headed by a band of music, were in waiting at the depot, and as the train came in greeted it with music aud cheers. President Hayes, from the platform of the car, sald: 5 ate I was told, when I was up in New England, by o yery well-informed gentleman, that ft was the duty of a President to preside, and it has. given me very great relief to undertake that duty whenever I have been called upon to make my acknowleug- ments for compliments Ii instead of -makin; aspeceh. It enables me to make the acquaintance of all who bonor me with their attentrons. shipped the hogs, but he made the check good forthwith by the use of the telegraph when Long called his attention to it. Dyer’s father is the “Co.” of Hamilton, Reimer & Co. It is supposed that word had got down through the couutry ubout this 3900 check, and that Dyer was undoubtedly met some desperate villain at the ford of the mill south of Groveport. A strange man was in Brooks, Butler & Co’s. when Dyer drew the money. The suspicions of foul play are most general, Dyer having always been a good character. “The whole case appears to be in- volved in mystery, und the excitement is intense inthe neighborhood. A large number of men are engaged in dragging the river. SAFE BURGLARIES. Spreuti Dispatch to The Tribune, Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 15.—A heavy safe rob- bery occurred In this city Jast night.

Senator Bixby says it is net worth denying Tweed's statements, but they will nevertheless raise a breeze in the Senate. To the Western Associated Press. New York, Sept. 15.—William M. Tweed was before the Aldermanic Investigating Committee to-day. He produced the assignment of half of James O’Brien’s claim against the city to him in the naine of Foster Dewey, and the assignment of Dewey to him. The assignment» conveyed for $1, paid by Dewey to. James O'Brien, all the latter's claims, * not less than $150,000, against the sity, aud bears the siznature of Jo- seph A.

It was understood among them that they were to reimburse themselyes and others for the large sums expended in passing the charter. : Connolly, Smith, and. witness, and’ various tradesmen, furnished money for bribing the egislature of 1370. Among the tradesmen were Garvey, Ingersoll, Keyser, E. A. Wood- ward, James Watson, Ed Boyle, Ed Marrin, and “most everybody who had dealings with us.? Henry Smith, Police Coimmis- sioner, contributed ; also the trie Railroad, through -'Jay_ Gould. . When he said Gould, he meant Fisk, and vice versa, for they spoke. and’ acted as one mau. Money for the Assembly went through Ed Barbour. He gave Barbour $600,000 for that purpose, and he himself personally paid Senator Hall. Con- nolly and bimself had an understanding when they were made the Board of Audit, that parties doing business with the city were to give them 15 per cent. His supposition was that the bills were to be bonafide. WATSON AND WOODWARD were suggested by witness as the parties to prepare bills, and then they were to be paid by ‘onnolly, which was agreed to: Sweeney and Hall got their percentage. Connolly was not satisfied with 10 per ‘cent., and wanted 20, and he got it, Hall complained of slowness in settling up, and witness made them hurry up, and after this fall signed the bills. They all got 14 per cent at first, and then 20. They ‘agreed on Sweeney, Connolly, aud Hall to divide up 10 per cent each, and 25¢ per cent was reserved for election purposes. The prominent'men to present vogus bills were Keyser and Ingersoll. ‘here was a split inthe Demccratie party about that time, which Hastings and other Re- publicans Were anxious to keep up.
