“AUG RENOVATION CANARD, The “Boss” Still Head of the De- partment of Public Works, DE? ERMINED TO “STICK.” He Will Run for the Senate and Fight to the Bitter End. ALL A50UT THAT KEYSER SUIT. A New Way to Pay Old Debts and an Old Way Disregarded, WHAT TH& “‘BOSs" HAS TO SAY. There was considerable excitement aboul town yesterday afternoon over the rumor tuat Mr. Tweed had resigned his position as Comuussioner of the Department of Public Works and had withdrawn a8 @candidate tor Senator from the Fourth district, The news, or rather the rumor, spread with light- Ring-like rapidity, and the poliiiciaus of the Various wards composing the district were at their wits’ ends to know how to take the matter itnout definite informavon. The clerks in the Croton Aqueduct Depart- meut, too, were almost beside themeives, and ran about like wild men from one departuient to another to trace the rumor W a rellable source. They didn’t put any faith in the rumor, but then they acted as if they had misgivings about the thing, and, not being in the secrets of the Boss,” they were un- able, of course, to swear, as they wanted to, that THE RESIGNATION AND THE WITHDRAWAL were just so much bosh and nonsense. The chief point was to find out who started the rumor, If some reliable man, who knew a thing or two about the way the powers that be manage matters before they let the public know what they are about, had told it to some other revabvle man, who @idn't dealin “sells,” then some confidence might be placed in the news. It was thus they atgued; and, in the hope of finding a reilavle man, they scoured every place where they thought such a man could be found, “Ttell you 1's TRUE AB GOSPEL," said an uptown ward politician to one of the clerks, as the latter buttonholed him on Broadway, near the “Boss’’ office, ‘The resignation ts a fact,” “But we havn't beard anything of tt yet. I think Were nearer the ‘Boss’ than your folks,” “Oh, yes; bus you haven't been speaking to Mr. Tweed, have you, or any of you’"” “Thaven'i, that i know; bot [don't know about wo other boys.” “Weil, 1 saw him myself to-day at two o’cloce, and he told me’?—— “What ?’'—and the clerk wriggied about in AN AGONY OF PAINFUT.

It ts not usual for a man to get payment of his bills by suing the mau who owes him before he presents the bills to his debtor. That may be a new way of doing business, but { tuink most men will not take to It very kindly." This ended the Conversation, and Mr. Tweed, after gnisting his writing, got into bis carriage aud drove ome. AROUND THE CITY lt seemed to be generally expected that were would be some fresh developments in the great fraua cases yesterday, and consequently the “boys” were on hand around the City Hall and New York Court House at an early hour, The only excitement in the matier, however, was that caused by the in- dictment of Hagerty and Baulch, ‘he fact that the Grand Jury had brought in a bill seemed to spread like wildfire, aud it was supposed that they would be immediately arraigned and tried. This caused a neral rush to the Court of General Sessions, aster ‘hich the aay 0d of the other buildings were ive! jeserted. iseaglsiigs THR SHRLIPP'S OFFICE there wasa sieady string Of applicant in the fore- poon for formation as to wheter aay oi te co NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTUBKEK 41, 1871.—TRIPLE SHext. been served with an order of arrest.

INGERSOLL, GARVEY AND WOODWARD. Sheriils the Qui Vive. No Further Arrests as Yet—Kumors and Speculations. Depuiy om Although there was littie excitement manifested in the viciurty of the SheriMs office yesterday many inquiries were mode as to whether Ingersoll had been arrested, rumors being adoat at ibe same that he had fed, The whereabouts of Garvey and | Woodward are satd to be unknown; but Ingersoll's absence causes no uneasiness, us it is claimed he will sarvender and give bail. Mr. Judson Jarvis, im charge of the Order of Arrest Department, with tour deputies, was awaiting tne arrival of Ingersoll m the city, in order to make the arrest, Iv was thought that Ingersoll was engaged in iooking for the required amount of batl of one million dollars. fhe anida- vits upon which the arrest wili be made are the Baine as In the case of William M. Tweed. From all that couid be learned yesterday it would seem that Ingersoll would “return to the city last might and have his bondymen ready to secure his release when arrested. There was an unusually small number of loungers in the Court House butlding yesterday, and although the condt- tion of affairs was discussed by a few groups, there was none of that charactoristic animation which generally marks the little political debates in the neighborhood of the Sheriii’s orice. Mr. Brennan aiated yesterday that all the documents for the ar- rest of Ingersoll and others were in readiness, and spoke confdontiy of Ingersoli's capture to-day. AROUT WOODWARD'S “SILENT”?

The following is ihe ailidavit, which fully explains itself:— + APPIDAVIT SWORN AGAINST GARVEY, Gity and County of New Yori ..

That at various Mines between Jounary 12, 1470, and March 28, 1571, at the mvecial instance and request of the defendant, they performed certain work and furnished Tials, at said city, in painting the oilices of the Tax Commis- sioners and Register, for which said defendant promised to Pay the same should be reasonably worth, fat the same were reasonably worth the sum of $3,460 50, and said defendant promised to pay the same therefor, but has wholly failed so to do and now indebted to these plainti®s therefor in said sum from Maren 28, 1870. Deponent further saith that during the lust month be bas made diligent efforts to agceriain the whereabouts of the de- fendant by Inquiring at bis residence, place of business, ana also of bie brother and friends, and that he bas been unable to find out anything in relation to bis whereabouts or ad- dress any more than that said defendant had gone away to some unknown locality, his relatives and triends professing to be ignorant of all knowledge of the matter, Deponent further saith that it has recentiy been shown by Phpptclal ecords of the city amd county of New York that id defendant has for several years past been engaged in a trandulent conspiracy with certain pablic officials of waid city and county, and that in pursuance thereof he bas received from the treasury of the county of New York, with the con- nivance and consent of said officials, between May 5, 1570, ‘and June 3, 1870, the ram of 471,89 07, under the false and frat lent pretence that that amount was due to him for plastering performed upon the new Court House, although in Tact the tote} value of all such plastering aid not exceed a tepth part of said sum. Phat it also appears from said recs of a number of ¢{:ntlur fraudujent transactions in which sald Garvey has been ena, ad through which he has traudu- lently recetved immes unts of public money ; that the facts in regard to said fraudulent transactions have only re- cently been made public, and ‘hat shortly after their being nblic steps were taken towards arresting the de- al other quilty parties, an’ towards recovering the funce they bad smnrroperly obtatned, and that several ns for that purpose are nowdmpending, \umeniately after the publication of such facts eid nt secretly absconded and bas since kept himself ‘concealed, with the view, 2# this deponent verilv believes, of preveniiug the serving’of legal process upon bim or is arrest tor Lis participation in suc fraudulent transact That he bas also transferred his store and business a1 great dea! of other propetry to third parties, upon nominal or Fretended considerations, for the purpose of preventing the Eame being taken by bis creditors or reached by legal pro- Ceas, and with the Inteat to dofraud these plaintiffs and his other creditors.

It was expected that they would be dis- charged; but Mr. Barlow, of counsel to the Seventy, was present, and, after conferring with the Recorder and District Attorney Garvin, he stated to the Court that he would endeavor to have some witnesses brought before the Grand Jury in the morning. He did not publicly state Committee of Seventy, it was supposed that tne complaint which he wished Present to the Grand Jury would have somethitig to do with | the municipal mudaie. The Grand Jury adjourned till Tuesaay morning, THE HAGERTY-TAULCH INDICTMENT. Among the indictments presented oy the | Grand Inquest were ills against Hdwin | M. Hagerty and Charles Banich for bur. | giary in the third degree and grand iarceny. The indictment for burglary charges them with breaking into the Comptroller's office ou the 10th | of September and carrying away certain important | vonchers which are set forth in technical terms. The bill for grand larceny is substantlally the same. It willbe remembered tnat Haggerty and Baulch | were committed by the magistrate without bail, and now that they have been indictea it 1s more than probable thatthe trial will take place at an cay. day.

Negroes Have Full Swing and Whites No Show. Has President Grant Been Imposed Upon by Loyal Leaguers? atin NRWBERRY, 8. 0, Oct. 18th, Ishall write a letter to-day which will startle (ne readers of the HERaLp, because tt will contain the Tecord of a State which nas for five years past been held up before them tn quite a diferent light from what I shall oxhibit herein, And ¢very letter to be martial law, concealing no fact, actuuted by no sel+ fish motive, but aiming simply at the truth, ALITTLE LIGHT Beginning, then, with the coanty of Newberry, which has been placed under martial law and heid Up ad a portion of South Carolina which ‘efles the State and Tederal laws, 1 propose to show how wil- fally and malignantly hier people have been misrep- resented. You have heard much about “rebel” and “Ku Klux" ontrages here, put tne other side of the story has not yet been told, Will tt not surprise three-fourths of your readers to hear that more white men—democrats, reb- els or whatever else they may be called have been murdered by negroes since the war ended than negroes by white men? Will it not fur- ther surprise you to learn that since November tast but one solitary outrage, that can by any possible Means be laid upon the Ku Klux, has been perpe- trated in Newberry, and that for months past per- fect order has reigned in this “insurrectionary’’ community? . And yet I mereiy assert facts, SOME UNTUNISHED MURDERERS, of white men, and these do not complete the list. The first is that of a gentleman named Lemuel Lane, who was killed by a gang of negroes and robbed of $8,000. Although the negro portion of the criminals were known but two men were punished; the politi- cal influence of the others was too strong, so they escaped, The next murder is that of Captain C, Herbert. He went to Lexington for whe purpose of arresting a negro Who was charged with theft. Securing the criminal he started back with him. When near Newberry the negro suddenly seized the Captain’s pistol, shot him dead and then decamped. The wretch has never been punished. The third case is that of J. T. Curton, Who was shot dead by negroes. At the same time his little son received a bullet in ihe spine, which has disabled him for life. The murderers are still at large. The fourth case is tnatof E, Garrett, also murdered by negroes; and nobody has yet been panished. Now, in all these cases the motive was to have the resolution 1 “aoved that each of the their charges, He i. they could a wait till Mr. Bleecker’s uld have the work done Anniversary= Were lendly visit have travelled and which ted with all the earnest+ world except in those befallen the mnabitants he memories of happier | to All Hallow Eve, suys | Ianight; but that it is | to the more beneficent | he sturdy Scots and their ”* relvics to es of love and the thrills | fe d away for- ie feast of apples | yt o; the enjoyments, and the memory of the tm- y contra folks pnies of All Hallow Rve in of nuts ana the maiden ordingly Whether as they start irom beside each ‘On the other hand, the has to take @ light at and from California 1 maidens will rejotce to- | both. robbery.

Soon after the assassins were dlis- covered and arrested, together with a third negro, the stolen property being found in possession of the three, The first two were members of the Union League, and a notorious negro of this place, named Green Jones, himself a promi- nent member of the League, was heard to deciare, Jong before the man was brought up for trial, that if he got upon the jury he would sit till doomsday before he would convict the two other Leaguers, Now mark the sequel. To begin, one of the original | assassins was accepted as State’s evidence, The | trial of the other two opened, and foremost among | th @ jurymen selected was Green Jones. The negro who bad merely accepted part of the plunder was convicted: the other scoundre! was acquitted, although the evidence against tim was overwhelm- ing. Why was this? Simp! use the one not a Leaguer, While the other was. Colonel Fatr, who acted as solicitor, assures ine tat he made the Most atrenuous exertions to procure a conviction of uf no use. Every juryman was a negr every negro of tiem belonged co the League, The unfortunate scapegoat Was hanged, protesting with nis last breath that, while he snared the piunder, he took no part whatever in the murder.

Robbery alone was the object. A MOCKERY OF JUSTICR. Passing from these tragedies to minor crimes, let us see how these black doves have behaved. Not jong ago a gang of them assembled near this town for the avowed purpose of burning the residence of James Cappell, Some miles distant. The Sheriff was | notified and he started forthe scene. On the way he met Colonel T. J. Lipscomb, and requested that elles to accompany lum. Lipscomb did so, ook an active part in compelling the negroes to dis- oral and, as a reward for nis efforts tn behalf of law and order, afew nights later his residence was burned to the ground by negroes, his wife and him- self barely escaping with their liv Mr. Lipscomb has been compelled to quit the State; they have put his name on the Ku Kiux ist. Let me ada that in the matter of house- burning and small robberies every- thing depended upon tne iact whether the perpe- trators were Union Leagucrs to secure conviction or acquittal. CONVICTION A. FARCE. But the reader may say, “Surely some criminals were convicted #** Here comes in the joke—1f thit can be calied a joke which is a vile prostitution of justice—wnich makes the administration of law an utter mockery. Criminals were dccasionaily con- victed, Where tie evidence was so broad that it ‘was impossible to acquit a verdict of guilty would be rendered and sentence passed, Bot, mark you, as soon ag the criminals were sent to the Penitentiary Governor Scott turned them loose, Behold, then, the condition of the whites, Either the murderers or ueives were not convicted, or, tt convicted, tley were promptly pardoned.

THR ONLY KU KLUX RAID. | dt was while the excitement over the murder of | Mr, Dunwoody was at its height that the first and | only Ku Klux raid tn Newberry took place. ‘the raid was foolish, crimtnal—wholly wrong. {t had a twofold object. One object was to kill or get rid of one of the negro county commisstoners, who had robbed ihe people of a large sum of money. This man was an appointee of Governor Scott's, Luo not libel him when I say that he stole the public funds committed to his charge, because he 1s now in jail for that offence. The poor of the county were ‘starving; representations were made to the Cov- ernor without avail; warnings were sent to the oili- Gia rogue, Minally, one oy ‘a large body of mounted men, all disguised, dashed into the town aud at- tacked the louse ‘of the Commissioner, wicked\y and criminally firtog into it, Not unnaturally he defended himself, and shot one of the raiders.

Perhaps some of your readers may that lam merely repeating tie statements of “rebels.” Let us see What “loyal” men say. ‘To-day | had a snort interview witn Mr. Montgomery, the radical Count Auditor, ‘Any disturbances in the country, sir? “A great many; things are very bad here,” with a shake ef the head. “Have politics anything to do with them? “Politicos have aneap to do with “Ah, well, Mr. Montgomery, will you be good enough to name to me some of these political outrages? “Can't call_ to mind just pow; but you sit down and to my wife for one hour, and she'll con. vince you.

No oppo- sition to the laws; no nattonal wards killed and yet Newberry county i8 under marital jaw.’ 1 have a long and pleasant chat with the Ca} tain. He believes that there are men in the coun! who hate the government. ‘Usptain, do you know of any orgamzation in Newberry inimicgi to ti United States?” He doesn’t know of any; the are too shrewd to let him. ‘Have you or any of your soldiers been shot at?’ ‘Neyer,’ and the Captain erambulates the town at all hours of the night, He a8 never even been treated with disrespoct. True enough, one of his officers failed to get board at a minister's because the congregation objected; true enough, an intoxicated young man indulged in abusive language before two Nordhern ladies at the hotel, for which, I think, he ought to have been ashamed of himself. ‘These are the only instances of disloyalty ihe Captain can name. Weill, social prejudices and biackguardism do not constitute treason. 1 bring the Captain back to the point. “Haa there becn apy resistance—armed or otherwise=to he authorities 7?" None.” But the Captain is in avon martial law. Why? He canmot explain, but Bl Approves it. MARTIAL LAW-~AND FOR WHAT? [have exaggerated nothing, concealed nothing, Newberry county 1s under martial law. For.whaté Idon’t know, the white citizens don’t know, the negroés don’t know and don’t care. JT have searched for the “insurrection” aud it 1s not here. Some montis ago Governor Scott consented to change the State officials, and a better state of feeling at once became apparent. To-day tho lawa are @Xecuied with greater impartiality than beiore, and justice gets Ger prey more irequcntly. Whites and biacks are living together barmonionsly rathet than otherwise, The outrages I have recorded be- long to months ago; they huye no existence thts evening. Now, inthe name of God, of peace and of civil liberty, why was Newberry county placed under martial law? A GREAT MISTAKB. Are there, then, no Ku Klux? Yes, plenty of them, Ifear, But J am fully satisfed that thetr object 1s not political, They are fooush hair-prained onliag | perhaps; but marttal taw will not suppress them, am Grmly conyinced that the moment the laws of the State ure fearlessly and properiy enforced they will disappear, But midnight arrests, breaking open houses and sending men to prison without permitting their relatives or lawyers to see them wil not remedy the evil, To-day the people ot Newberry are stupefled; to-morrow they may be something worse, in Union, Spartanburg and York counties the feeling is imiensely bitter, Men are fleeing from their homes because they are not safe from arrest. Any negro can have a dozen white mem arrested and they dare not ask the reason. Let an unprejudiced person come to this section of South Caroliua and see for himself whether un- principled scoundrels have not misrepresented the people to the President. Let him traverse the nine counties and point out o single insur- rectionary band or a single tudividnal who has resisted the officers of the law, and [ will take back all lave written and justify the prociamation of martial iaw.
