New Yors, Sept. 15.—Tweed'’s examination was continued to-day. The exciting part of his testiinony was that regarding the amounts paid to Influence legislation and the adralsston that he had personally briberl members of the Legis- Inture. The gravest charge was acainat Senator Wooudin, the moat Influentlal member In the Legislature, and the man John Kelly fs most anxious to dispose of. Tho same charge was niade atthe time of Tecd's pretended con- feasion, was Investigated by n Senate Cummit- tee composed of a majority of Democrats, and was thoroughly retuted, Asa farther offset to Tweed’s testimony con- ecrning bribery, it will be recalled that in 1872, when uéed as a witness, ho swore ho had NEVER PAID A DOLLAR or made an effort to influence legislation. Dis present statements put him on record 48 a per- lurer, and are probably made {n the hopo of yaining Kelly's fayoras tho only hope of re- wasc from Ludlow-Street Jail, Tue 1870 CHARTER, In relation to the charter of 1870, Tweed satd: Tt was prepared partially by Oakey Hall, par- wally by Sweeny, Cornctius Corson, and Alex- anier Freer. Ihadalittle to do with {t my- yelf, Mr. [itchman had something to do with it, and most of the members ot Tammany had votnething to do with it, either dircctly or by tucir suggestion. Q.—Was that charter passed through the Legislature fulrly, or was money pald to secure {ts passage? A.—Moncy was used. Q.—Do you know personally of any member of the Asscmbly belng paid for his vote in refer- ence to this charter?’ A. don’t think Ido of the Assembly. Q.—Do yon know personally of any member of the Senate laying been paid for his vote in that regard? A.—ido. In the year 1970 tho’ old Board of Supervisors CEASED TO EXIST by aspeciat law, and the power to audit bills was placed in the bands of the Mayor, Con- troller, and President of the Board of Public Works. Hall waa Mayor, Richard B, Connolly Guutroller, and Tweed President of the Board, “Q.—Who prepared those clauses which gava the control to these three men?

[sald "If k canuot get rou T wilt not tell you the others.” I spoke te bim about, Mr. Winslow. The next day F had another interview with him, and 1 suid the sano thing tohim. I sald I was going to PAY THEM 310,000 RACTI, and be asked ff T could not make it $50,000. Q—Who asked-that? A.—Woodin. I said no; that I did not proposo and could not afford to give more than $40,000, aud he sal he would go with the others, sald, Shall L hand you the $40,000 yoursctfi”” and be sald, “No; Ewill do with you os with the rest.” Tsatd, “1 will hand {tto Winslow.” Tle entd, “Do the saino with me as you will with the others,?? A short thing after Hastings informed mo that there was A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, and that that was the results and, in fact, I knew already, When the bill came up, every Republican voted for st, according to the caucus determination, except str.

That matter was settled all Q.—Was the matter talked over at that mect- ing, and the powers they gavel A.—Yes, Q.—Waa anything sald that the powers given the Controller, the Mayor, and the present Lresident of the Department of Public Works would enable them tomake money for them- selves! “A.—1 don't kuow that there was eo much said In reference to making, but It was to relmburse thom and thoso who bad advanced: money to secure its passage. Of itsolf that act could not do any great harm;. but its subso- quent acts gave the control of tho Clty Govern- ment (ntothe hands of those partics. Q.—The object was to cnable you three men toralso money to relmburse yourselves and oth- crs for money expended in the passage of tho charter? A.—That was ONE OF THM REASONS. Q.—Who furnished the money to bo used in procuring the passage of the charter? A.—Va- rious trudesmen and pollticlans.

A NICH LITTLE ARRANGEMENT, Q.—Now was tho money raised to bay the passaze of the charter of 18707 A.—A large part of It by bills jointly of ‘Connolly and Builth inude payable to my order, or Cognolly and myself made payable to Smith, or Smith and myself made payable ta Connolly, as the taso might be. Tho money was got from the Broadway Bank asa general thing, They were male payable to my order, Q.—Did you use it personally tn infuenctng nembers of the Legislature? AT did, Q.—Did you pay it yourself to them! A— Yea, to some of them, What was paid to the nembers of the Legislature wos paid through E. D.

A.—Yes, sir, Q.—How much money? A,—I bave no idea. MUNDEBDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLANS, Q.—Two hundred thousand dullurst A.—Oh, yes; about three timce that—$600,000I think waa the amount elven him. Q.—Did you pay that money jn money or checks! A.—I pufd tt to him altogothor in nieney, except that after the adjournment of the Legislature there were 130,000, $10,000, or $50,000 to be puid, and he came to New York and I GAVE MIM A CHEOK FoR IT, Q.—The check afterwards camo back ta you indorsed! A.—Yes, Before uaming the Senators to whom money was pald for their yotes, Tweed right, and he sald tt was, ‘Tweed charged that the checks drawn for the Senators had been purloined by O'Brien Bryant, who stilt held them. As to Senator Miner, Tweed sald thy talk with im was positive and direct, and the understanding wus that he (Tweed) wos VERY ANXIOUS TO PASS THB DILL, Ho (Miner) said that be wos but a poor farmer; and, continuing, said: “You are very rich down in New Yurk, aud. be said you ougnt tu stand well to people who stand “by you.” Tweed told tim he would stand well by him, and suggested $5,000, He suid that would notdo. ‘Tweed then said $10,000, and ho sald that “would not do, “Tweed sald $20,- and Minter sald, ' Flow about 25,000¢'* and he also sald, "1 will sec you again.” It in- creased the next thine until it cama to $50,000, anil was finally settled at $40,000, Senator Bixby ways it is not worth denying Tweed'a statements, but they will nevertheless raige A breeze tn the Senate. To the Western Assoclated Press, New Youk, Sept. 15,—Wilitain M. Tweed was before the Aldermanic lnyeatieuting Committee today. He produccd the acsigiment of half of James O'iriew's claim oainst the city tv klin in the name of Foster Dowey, and the assignment -of Dewey to him. ‘The sssignment conveyed for 81, pala by Dewey to Juines O'Brlen, all the latter’s claims, “not less than $150,000, against the elty, and bears the signature of Jo- seph A.

Tweot wus asked if mombera of the Assembly were bribed tu vote for it. The wituess an- swered, they were pald for It. Witness coula not of is’) own personal knowledge tell what memnera of* the Assem- bly were paid, but he knew the Senators were. ‘The tax-levy provisivus of 1570 gave the cuntrol of the finunces to the Mayor, Comp. troller, and President of the Department of Public Works. Jt was understood atuong them that they were to relmburse thetnsclyes aud others for the large sums expended Jn passing the charter, Conuelly, Smith, and wituess, and various tradesinen, furnished money for bribing the Legislature of 1870, Atnoug the tradesmen were Gurvey, Ingersoll, Keyser, B.A, Wood: ward, dames Wutsou, kd ove Ed Murrin, and “inust everybody who had cy with us’?

Tweed sent for Hugh Hastings and got bis aid, paylug bin $20,000 fur it, as beretofure stated. He continued: I told Hastings what § wanted. He suggested the best way would be to see ver talu Senatora, and, {f possible, have a caucus of Kepudlican Benators called, and induce them to jupport our charter, On this bint 1 saw espe- dully Senators Winslow, Woodin, Bowen, Minter, wd Wood.

Why was not the Episcopal Church In thiacountry more numerous In her following? With tae attractions she possessed, her com municants were but a handful in comparison with what they ought to be. The truth was that she had not sought out and appealed totus masses; that she had not, in accord ance with the divine command in the parable, ‘launched out futo the deep, and Jetdown the nets for adraught.” While the Wesloys, the Whitflelds, and the Moodys of our own day had thrilled the masses, she Thad Ke t too close to shore, aud the common peopl ad been neglected, And yet the rich were.
