Why a War Is Being Waged Against Tammany—John Kelly snd "Bosa" Tweed, Dasiness in the West.wdn Eastern Salesman Re- porly Doflness Everswhere Exeept in Chicago. From Our then Correrpondent, NEw Yonux, April 19.—This has beena week of sensatfons, in marked contrast to weeks pre- ceding. By one unexpected and stirring event after another, social, political, and news crcles have all been set axow. First cane the deathof Tweed,—about the only zood and proper thing left for the ol! man.. Then was oreseoted the charming pleture of Murat Ilalsted roing to Europe in the disicuise of Mark Twain’s shirts, scd making one of a jubilant trio,—Bayard and Sam being the other two. 8unday broucht its remarkablo tsermon on Tweed by Talmage, whose Trustces deserted bim in so uncompli- mentary a manner. And on Monday Mra. ‘Tilton left with Mr. Ira 5. Wheeler the simply- worded note whith has sct the Contluent to talking over the wreatest scandal of the age. Even this was not enough, but had to be fol- lowed by another Conklinz Interview, which the Henator from New York was compelied to pro- nounce very like that put forth by **Gath,"'— unauthorized, fnaccurate, aud o breech of falth in the publishing, This surely mukes n fair lst for the week, TILDEN, TAYLOR, AND REID. Bpeaking of the trio who set sail in the ITol- satla, there was an fneldent fu connection: with the Inst banouct accorded Minlster Taylor which bas amused many persons behind the scenes. As hos besn announced, on the night before his acparture Mr. Taylor was banqueted at the Union League,~the host on the oceasion belng Whitelaw Rtekl. For some reason that docs not readily appear, Sumucl J. Tillen, of Gramercy Park, was a gucst, and, it is said, was treated with rather more consideration than any other guust,—was, fn fact, the host's right-hand man. Of course, this was all right enouwh, At his own banquet, **the Editor of the Tall Tower was at liberty to choose his company and fa- vorites. Nevertheless, there were perrons who found both gmusement and sirnificance in the fuct. Now for the Joke: While the editor and the perpetual candidate for the Presidency were hobuobbing over their wine,—and, according to Mr. ‘Taylor's words and eyes next inoruing, they Kept it up pretty late,~the editor's reporters were cngared in writing n rather colored account ot an aotl-Tawmany meeting, held by a norrid chance, that very same night, ot Cooner Institute. The reporters had taken the view all alon that this muvement, which was sod Is engincered by O'Brien, was and Is solely in Tilden's lutesest with reference to events it Not Having been reprimanded Tor such a view, and this mecting belug the most lmpor- tant anti-Tammany had yet got together, they took the humorous side, and "went behind the curtain to drag forth Jimmy O'Brien and Til- den, who were represented as walking up Broad- way fu company uud in earnest cunsultution, Hence jt was plalnly Intunated that, while O'Drien kept fu the Lackzround as much as possible, he was really the backbune of the op- ition to Kelly; and that, while Tilden hid his ittie body entlrely behind broad Jimmy, he was lhm us surely there, with lis keen brain oud his far-planning mind, It will readlly ve secn that the columns of the Zribune next niorn. ing did not harmonize. I one, Mr. ‘Tilden was found as the honored and distinguished guest of the editor; fu another, he was volnted out, aud rather laughed aot, as *“de nigger fu de fence” of Taminany's inclosure, WIAT TILLEN 18 AT, Rezanlless of the consequences, there is Mttle doubt that the reporters had the rivht of “it. This bringa e to the political work ut prescut prozressing in this city. If nnyhodf'. Democrat or Republlean, thiuks that Mr,” Tilden has for ane moment abandonod the fdea of being a can- didate for the Presidency in 1850, that person is uite mistaken. - After tho past revelation of the closenuss, far-sletitedness, and accuracy of this wan's methods of polltleal procedure, there will b no cxeuse if ho is permitted to get the sturt {n therave a secona time, For one, despite nil tho talk agalust him, and the un- doubtedly hullllo—dtl‘bl{ hostile—attitude of leaders in his own party, T belleve that Mr. Til- den tins to-day more hold upon the machinery of that Fll’l than any beinz save himsell fs oware of. It isaprime characteristicof the man to work bebind others,—to work nolsol cessantly, without lusing sight of one poiut of advantaie, titl the machinery, tho means to ne- cumplish the end, arc all witliin his vrasp. This may by pure tancy, and a Tilden scare: but ft won't do any harm, Let us sco what Mr, Tilden istrylne to do now. Therefs WAR AGAINST TAMMANY, It 1s reganded s the most formidable war in which Tutntnany has been eogagcd, Tammany encrully has a” clcan ficld Yo wmiarch thruugh, oW there has rlsen up on enomy determined, ir determtnation sud gencralship can do i, to give Tammany o Waterloo. The leader of this encmz. the Genernl, the will-power, is Tilden, Republicans are to Le used as allles, 80 far as they can bo engaged or bired. No matter what tho composition of tho forees, ansthing to beat ‘Tammany. ‘The is the “orian of this movement, Duy alter day it pours tigures and hard statements upon Kelly, the Urand Sachem. Kelly's organ can only runl{ with personat vitu- cration; aud the bioadsides of figures and ard statements—wrought into shape by one of the shurpest cditorial workmen of the setropo- Ma—are kept up. What does alt this advance on Tamnmany mean! Simply that John Kelly nust be disposed of, and ut ull hazards, before the Democratic National Conyention shall again convene to nominate o candidate for the Prosts dency. Why (lllruuu of Kellv? + Because Kelly is the deadly political foe of Tildew, and Tilden must bave the Now York delegation in that Convention. Unless the power of Tammauy can be broken, even the umbltion of Gramerey Park must civo place to hopelessuges, 1{ Tam- many can be put under fu Btate jolitics, then Tilden sces his way toa solld New York dele- gation; and, with"thirty-tive votes In his pock- tt, ho sces bis way through o national caucus, That is the whote story.” Tawmany may be esteemed o mountaby, and Tiiden o mouse; but he 1sn’t a mouse, for all that. Morrissoy showed sumcethlog o bis power against Kelly Just fall, una Morrissey has been a Tilden sup- portes from the first.” ’Brieu (s not a factor 1o be disregarded in focal politics, and ho s not aloue in_ leadership,—that is, nominal loader- ship. The anti-lammany wectiogs are lurge meetinge, Whether they mean anything or not, and the vonceded finportance of the fm- pendlug struggle, may best be judiced from the cfforts put forth by Tawmany, through its or- gans amd cvery avallable weans, to counteract the growing Influcuce of the opposition. Kelly, ot least, recogulzes the capucity uod character of bils enemy. ANOTIIER TRIO, OF TAMMANY, Kelly's letter in favor of Tweed's retease has been turned azainst him. Tweed's last words were characteristie, and recall the (ndirect and dircct relatfons of the thre¢ Democrats,— I4l- den, Tweed, and Keily, There was o tiine whon It was to ‘Tllden's advantaze to be Tweed's, friend; sud then there was a ttmo_when ft waa doubly to his advantaze to be Tweed's foe. “Titden and Falrehild,—thoy bave killed me at laat.” 8o Tweed beld bim o to the end, and belleved that, but for Tilden’s word sud Intu- euce, he should have been u free man et bofora ho died.

Bo - you (3 see that, when the Eastern papers make all surta of bankruptcy charges against the West, there is a “condition of things" at home as well. Nobody can cstimate tho great deckine in value of the property of which Tweed beeame posscased, and muchof it has gone by defauit, much been given away,—leaving the ofllcers witn claims for their milllons, but noth- inz to levy upon.
