LOCAL POLITICS. .cTHE NEW MUNICIPAL RING. ‘NOVEL DEVELOPMENTS ‘The Woods in a Wordy Fight for the Spoils, © ‘The World and News Bottieholders. “NICE GAME ALL AROUN ae. &e. &. ‘The exposé of the new municipal ring in Thuraday’s <unato caused the greatest excitement among the politt- ~clans. Nothing else was talked about from morning to might. The small fry were rushing around half frantic, Aike boes.{rom a capsized hive, some hunting up Wood, Weed, Tweed or Cornell to “get in’ om this last combi- nation, and some, more cautious, trying to find Sweeny, Breovan or Boole, in order to discover what they were ‘going to. do, and which ring, the new or the old, was tho more likely to be profitable, The accuracy of the ‘Gxeatp’s statements was universally admitted. Fernan- do Wood's intimates declared that the article was ‘“‘pretty noar the true story,” and this endorsement being rapidly passed from lip to lip gave the matter quite an official ‘character. ‘WEED AND THE COPPERHEADS. ‘The republicans pretended to be very angry that Weed should be accused of conspiring with such copperheads as Wood, Cornel! and Tweed; but upon trotting over to the Astor House they discovered Jake Sharp drinking at the bar, with a copy of the Hxraup in his paw, prepared swear to every word of the municipal ring article, while Weed sat in his room up stairs, rather glum that ‘the game should be sown up so soon, but incapable of denying the tacts. The truth is that this dealing with copperheads is old business for Weed. For a long time past the republicans have kept the copperhead fuc- ‘tion alive, so as to break down the regular democracy. Daring the past summer Weed’s friends openly boasted that he was giving Fernando Wood prominence in order to bring the democrats down to the trading polat. When anything is to be made anywhere Thurlow Weed puts his patriousm in Lis pocketbook, along with his other flim- ‘sles, and setties down steadily to the job, FERNANDO RETURNED FROM ROME. When Fernando Wood returned from Rome a few weeks ago thero was none so poor as to do him rever- ence, or mect him at the steamer and offor to carry his carpet bag. In Rome he bad kissed the toe of the Pope's lackey—whom he mistook for his Holiness—and at- tempted to repent of his sins, but they proved too many for him and he gave up the attcmpt. As soon as he heard of the date of the State Convention he made tracks for home, itmagining that he would be consulted about candidates, and might turn a penny, honestly or other- wiso, in the brokerage business—‘‘offices cheap for cash.” All the capital ho had was a lot of skeletovs and a heap - of brass. Arrived here, he found himself out in tho cold, The door of the State Convention was slammed in Dis face, and the Tammany men shouted “No cold victu- als’! at him out of the window. It was then that Fernan- Go vowed to “get even;” but there were no paving stones handy to shy at the party who were having such a jolly time and manufacturing such a nice platform in- ~. side, and so the poor, played out politician sat down om ‘the curbstone, crying and swearing and disconsolate. THE NEW RING FORMED. Tt was in this condition that Thurlow Weed picked up Fvrnando, took him down to the Astor House, gave him something to eat and drink and put. him in a room on ‘the “half deck.’’ Wood had been having a pretty rough timo of it at Aibany in his prize fight with Greeley, and im the Syracuse Convention, where he could do pothing ‘without the aid of Senator Morgan, Although appa- «rently playing the benefactor, he really seized upon ‘Wood. like a drowning sailor on a straw. Wood was very giad to be seized. Romeo had found his Juliet, ~@ud the connubial relation was immediately established. Putting their heads together the design of the new ring ‘was soon sketched out, and Wood, equipped in a bran ‘wew dlack suit, began to send for poople and palaver them in his old, Pocksniffian style. It wasa regular case of “wil you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fy," and the flies accepted the invitation, partly out of ~@urioaity to see Wood's skeletons and partly to discover ‘whether Fernando really meant business or was doing this thing entirely on his face. CORNELL AND TWEED COME IN. Among the first to listen to the siren tongue of the hero of the Marvin, Schermerhorn and Miils cases were Cornell aad Tweed, of the Street Department, These meu wore malcontents iu Tammany Hall. They had done more to injure the organization by their corrup- tions and their opposition to patriotic measures and honest Candidates than anybody that can be named. ‘They defeated the Tammany address of 1862-3, which would have revolutionized the democratic party. They put down Conner and nominated Hurry Genet for County Clerk last fall, In oyery way they had opposed Sweeny, Brennan and Boole in the or- gauigation, and now they were ready to oppose these persona—of whom they are horribly jealous— even if they had to go outside. Tweod already bolds about sixteen offices, to say nothing of the Americus club; but he wanied one more, viz: the State Senatorship. Cor- ‘nell way anxious to find somebody who would gaarantee ‘Dis reappointment as Street Commissioner, and who ‘would make a reasonably good candidate for Mayor. “I'm your man,"' said Fernando, and immediately intro- duced them to Weed. THE TERMS OF THK BARGAIN. ‘The terms of the bargain were very quickly setued, and the ring was formed. Fernando put in his Mozart Hall skeletons, lis experience, his tact, and no money, and is to receive the ring” nomitnatidn and sap for May next December. Weed put in his influence and his talent, and when called for hard cask, added tho Tribune piers and wharves job, worth almost fity millions of dollars, He is to have all the Senators and Assomblymen from this city, incinding Tweed and Cor- well, pledged to vote for a Broadway tailrond and for os Uni inited States Senator. As Weed will get very fow legixlators im the country distriets, this matter is very important to Bim. Cornel! put in the Street | ¢ Department and as big a slice sce be can cut | oft, promising to endorse Wood's nominati for Mayor. ‘He ia to receive, first, an olection to the State Senate, | and next a intment as Strect Commissioner, with an extension of his term for life, like the Tax Commits jm and hg t in i ie saccade bus oes, jupervisors, the patronage of his sixteen oillete, Blacen weigh instal, ssorsi ut physical, end | the chair in wi he sits and the big war club he | wields as Chairman of Tammany Hall.

Each man takes out of the poo! more than be puts in, and the dividends of the con- “cern will probably throw Pithole stock into the shade.

In #2 moment sil the politicians were gathered around ‘the combatonts and another ring was formed. This novel manifestation of fraternal teelings in the Wood family excited the most eager atiention, and when it was ascertained that this Was not a mero sham fight, but that Bon was im deadly earnest and determined to run against “Twood, in Brennan's interest, for State Senator from t! “lowor district. the furore was at its height, Bets of two to one were offered, with no takors, that Ben would beat ‘Twe'd in his own ward, and that he wonld even capture the Tammany nomination. Thereupon the new ring stuck began to fall fearfully.

M LYNG, 163 Bromiway Visit of the Tunisians to the Publito Schools. Tho Tunisiaw embassy occupied their time ou Thursday in visiting & aumber of our public schools, As with every- thing olae, Tunis i# much backward in the matier of education, True, there are some schools and colleges there, but these are more for the ineulcation of the prin- ciples and words of the Koran than for the developing of the faculty of thought. In America and othor civilized countries the aim and object of education isto draw ont the child's faculty of reasoning, to teach and encourage it to think, and then, through the chanue! thus opened, to introduce wholesome knowledye. The arisiocratic class in Bunis, following the example set them by Ruro- peans, have commenced to send their children abroad to be educated. Females ig Tunis, as in alt Easteru countries, aro looked upon as an inferior race of beings. They are un derstood to be merely created for the performance of domestic matters, and the idea of a woman's education being cared for is looked upon as absurd. With the Tu- nisians’ visit to America much of this prejudice will Probably be rooted out, Hare they see women of high intetlectual attainments honored and respected, the female sex looked upon as equal if not superior to the males, not to say anything of spiriiual mediums and “women’s rights’ associations. The first of the schools visited by them was Free Academy, where they were received by Dr, Webster, the ‘President, and shown throu; the various departments of this ‘valnable insti- tution, After leaving the Free Acade: they were accompanied by Profossors Owen and Docherty to school #7, in Twelfth street. ‘This school is devoted to females, and is superintended by Migs Wadleigh. The children in the differen: departments went thravgh various exercises, such as singing and reciting, for the benetit of the visitors. The General and staff ex- themselves much detighted at the order a .© school, as well as with the y with which the pupils went ‘The General made an address, which was translated to the school by the Consul, Mr. Perry. He said that heneeforth he wonld not be aston- ished at anything he might see im America. He now saw the secret of the greatness of our nation, and that the solidity and sirength which characterized our people were ineuleated into them by means of @ proper education af- forded to them in their carlier years. From this school they visited school No. 35, in Thirteonth streot—Mrs. Hunter, principal. This is a male school, and the General expressed himself delighted with all the arrangements, Doubtless it presented to him a vastly different appearan tof the native schools, where a parce! of ragged ur croaslegged, jabber the Koran and nothing more. T leaving this school the pariy visited the Mercantile Library amd. the rooms of the Geoxraphical and Statistica! both of which iustitations they were highly p ‘On their return to the Astor House the General he had speut the most proiitable day since his arvi Apieri Jofferson on the English Stage, {London correspondence Liverpool Journa Mr. Jefferson as Rip Van Winkle continues to his appreciative audiences, and will doubtless (when the brains of Loudon jind their way back, and the Uterat men, lawyers and professionals return) achieve sucl popularity, honestly earned without puff or ireposture, claqve or Yankee humbug, as is worth an honorable iman’s winning. ‘There is success, and success happily. The miserable showman who placards the town and builds up paper houses, and who is anced as “the grout,” “the inimitable” and “the wonderful,” gets it, and the money which clings to it, but he has it not alto: gether. There is some justice left among mortals, though not much—a soupeon of salt in the unleavened dish, Qualifying criticsm with the reflection that Mr. Jeffer- sou, like Mr. Sothern or Mr. Owens, iy be a one-part actor, Rip Van Winkle bei the only character in which he has appeared, it’ may be again repeated in this column that, as far as this one personation offers insight into his powers, he is one of the mest accompliched, authen'ic and polished actors that has appeared sine: Frederick Lemaitre made his bow (oan Bogiich audience.

He lots well alone.
