AMUSEMENTS, as z Mr. Lester Walinck as Young Wiiding in “The Liar.” The second old comeuy of the present comedy season at Wallack’s Theatre was produced, last night, The play chosen for representation last evening and throughout this week, “The Liar,” of Samuel Foote, adapted to the modern stage by Mr. Charlies Mathews, ts one of the most dificult of all the old English dramas—not that it is by any means the best, If it were adapted to this age and played in the costumes of the present day it would be voted a bore. Indeed, it is to be doubted if any such eXtravagant lar as Young Wild- ing ever existed or could exist, But the play is so full of situations suited to every age, and 1s withal so witty and entertaining in many that none of the old comedies are more enjoyed in acting. This enjoyment is due, however, in a great measure to the tact that it is old comedy and is played as such even to the minutest particular, This makes its representation on the modern stage all the more diMicult—indeed, it is only tn this in which ita difficulty consists. We need not enlarge upon the decay of the old drama farther than to remaik that the present the best on which to occasion 18 perhaps see what it was like, All actual stage knowleage of the preceding century is jast passing away. Mr. Wailack and Mr. John Gilbert are tne only actors on the American stage capable of interpret- ing, and Mr. Wallack is alone capable of both teach- ing and mterpreting, the old school of art. As tothe The representation last night showed the worth of Mr, Waliack’s teachings. The piece was well played throughout according to the old models—a circumstance due entirel; to his instructions; for, wile Mr. ‘allack himsel! can play new as well as old comedy the ; young actors and actresses of the day cannot pass So easily from the know to the almost unkuowa- ble—cannot pass at all from the new to the old except under the leadership o! a veteran guide. ‘This was what Mr. Wallack accomplished with tae present cast of the piece. We regard it as no longer necessary to follow his acting in any of his well known parts with the critical pen. This 1s too well known to make actual criticism requisite even when he plays a part exhibitii 80 many phases of his art as the character of Young Wilding. Mr. John Gilbert, as Old Wang: was, of course, his old self in the part, Miss Jeffreys Lewis made her first appearance at this theatre | as Miss Granthan She is extremely pretty, and met with a flattering reception. As the rather fast but lovely young lady of the past century she was sometimes unique, and always tn- teresting, but she betrayed many evidences of a want of thorough stage culture. This will come with time, and in the meantime she will be accepted as a very promising artist. Mr. Harry Beckett, as Papillon, deepened the impression he previously made as Tony Lumpkin in “She Stoops to Conquer.” Mrs. John Sefton, as Miss Godirey, was especially felicitous in the nonchalance with which she received Miss Grantham’s sallies and the confidence she exhibited in the somewhat withered charms of old maidenhood, ‘The minor parts were well filied, at least in the man- ner in which the people described in the bill as ladies and gentlemen carried their clothes, whica is saying a great deal. for nothing is more dificult than to appear at ease in the attire of the Loy say from the tume of Charles II. to George LI. his was the only distinguishing feature of the act- ing of Mr. W. J. Ferguson as Sir James fillott, the | rival of Young Wilding to the hand of Miss Grantham, Mr. Tom Taylor's comedietta “To | Oblige Benson” was played as an afterpiece, First Symphony Con- cert. The grand orchestra, 70 in number, of which America may justly be proud, and which Mr. Theo- dore Thomas has spent years in bringing to a state of perfection second to none in Europe, drew a very large audience to Steinway Hall last night. It 18 truly an orchestra o! virtwosi, blended into @ perfect ensemble by the ordehl of experi- ence and endowed with Promethean fire by that consciousnes of innate power and earnestness of resolve that true musicians alone can experi- ence. The first work on the programme was the grand overture of Beethoven, opus 124, “Weihe des Hauses,” written immediately beiore the immortat Choral Symphony. The commencement of this colossal work, with its strong, nervous chords and phrases, instinct with harmoni: life and power, showed the magnificent quality of the orchestra. Not only was there clockwork precision, but aiso that warmth, fecling, glow of expression that speak of intelligence and earnestness on the part of the individual members ofaband, The bassoons had a long and trying passage to themselves, accompanying and color. ing the second theme of the overture, and each note was given with distinctness and effect. After then came a rush of the strings, instinct with dre and leeling, and succeeded by a beautiful episode Jor the horns and their cenfederates. The Ailegro con brio came next, with an élan on the part of the entire orchestra that was only | exceeded by an attention to the distinctness of | phrasing and intelligibility of rendering that char- acterize such incomparable players, An adagio pause here and there, as it were, to take breath, and the overture rushed towards the fluale, losing not a spark of the divine fire with which the com- poser has endowed it. Mr. Myron W. Whitney, the representative American basso, then sang an air irom Bach's Passion music (St. Matthew), “Give me back my dearest Master,” and although he brought to the rendering of this grand work all the wealth of an exceptional voice and thorough classical school, yet the effect was not what might be desired. Theodore Thom: Bach’s Passion music must be presented in its entireity, or it cannot produce suc- cess, no matter what may be the attainments of the singer or the orchestra, Mr. Whitney was more successful in the lovely arletta of Beethoven, “In ie tomba oscura,” which was encored, and drew fort trom tne artist a splendid rendering of the grand aria of Savastro, in “The Magic Fiute.”’ The other soloist on the | occasion was Mr, Louis Lube a violoncellist of considerable renown in Europe, and lately | brought. to our shores by Mr. Thomas, He essayed a concerto by Bernhard Molique, the cel- ebrated violinist of Nuremberg. The work demanded abundance of power and wonderiul faciiity to ac- | commodate the subject, as given by the ‘cello, to the varying colors of the orchestral treatment, and | Mr. Lubeck proved himseli fully equal to all the requirements of the occasion. His tone is mellow and sympatnetic gud yet instinct with nervous peliel and his execution is smooth, flexible and effective. ‘the lovely symphony tn C of Schubert, the great- est of the favorite composer's works, was the prin- cipal feature of the concert. It was a genuine triumph for the orchesira. From the emphatic declumation of the horns in the introduction to the Titanic sweep, hurricane like, of all the instruments in the Jinale, there was not a flaw. The opening Allegro ma non troppo seemed to be the expression of one mind, each nuance of expression being limned tn the most delicate col- ors. The second movement, Andante con moto, with its quaint Oriental theme, draped in a_gor- geous raiment of instrumental effects, brought out the orchestra in its most vivid colors. The kaleidoscopic changes in the treatment of the main subject. with its diamond setting of light episodes, seemed to be specialiy adapted for the purpose of giving cach department of the orchestra an oppor- tunity for individual display, which was not lost. The i thoven-like Scherzo, piayfal as Puck, never losing the ©haracteristics of the pri ot lyrisis, the fruit of an imexhaustible fancy | and tue ‘ofspring of the imagination of the poet-musician, was handled by Mr. Thomas’ musi- } cians with a delicac; refined coquetry that left | its lusire undimmed. The last movement, Allegro vivace, so bizarre and beautiful in its very capri- clousness, exuberant in ideas until there is a very pantomime of subjects all struggling for predomi- nance, the happiest eort of the Midas of melody, as Schubert has been happily named, was given th rare effect. No wonder that Liszt should ex- claim, alter listening to such a symphony, “Schu peda Sehubert, le musicien 1é plus pote gue fut jamais One of the most delightful thoughts of Hector Berlioz is his musical poriraiture of Queen Mab, and he found abie interpreters last night in Thomas’ orchestra. The tanciful picture of Mer- cutio became for the moment a tone picture, over which danced and tanghed elves or all Kinds, The reeds were particularly jubilant, and many a sly joke was poked at the strimgs by the finte, oboe and clarinet. The concert closed with a symphonic introduction to one of Bjorndsen’s pems, “Sigurd Stembe,” a Scandinavian subject by Mr. J. Svendsen, Each season scems to develop new qualities of excellence in the unrivalled or- chestra over which Mr. Thomas wieids tho baton, and which he has so long and so faithiully trained for the proud position they now occupy. To him we are indebted, not only for the first production of the greatest works of ancient and modern schools im this country, but also jor their inter- pretation by the representative orchestra af America.

THE CUBAN QUESTION. SHE CAPTURE OF TRE VIRGIEIES EO al PRESIDENT GRANT ON THE SITU- ATION. Editorial Comments of the Washington Chronicle—Spain Must Fight or Make Reparation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 1873, “When the government makes every prepara- tion for on aggressive or defensive policy, fits out its navy and does everything to make the army effective, up to the limit of calling for troops, you can put whatever construction you please on such activity. If I were to judge of such movements as @ civilian I should say they were warlike. Ido not remember of anything of the kind hav- ing been done in this country which was not the preface to peace or satisfaction for our offended honor. So far, I believe, our history sustains me in this assertion. If my message to Congress docs not convey this idea, it will be because I jorget the words in which to express it.”” This was the language of resident Grant in con- versation with a Senator, whose influence as well as his vote will be important when the present re- Jations with Spain come belore Congress for con- sideration. The Daily Chronicle of to-morrow will publish the following as indicating the sentiment of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and their vote will settle this controversy :— Judicially considered, it will not probably be pretended that a public war exists in Cuba, The Spanish authorities stoutly insist that war does | not exist on the Isiand, ‘The patriots have sought a recognition of thels independence by other nation: which has not yet been conceded by any tirst class Power. And yet the historical iact of such war cannot be dented, aud its proportions have been and are be- | ing army and navy, and active cam- paigns to prevent the overthrow of the Spanish authorities; It is said that | the number of troops already sent to Cuba trom Spain within the past few years on ths account approaches 100,000 men; that the average strength ol this army is at least 30,000, and yet the pauiiots, | as Uhey cail themselves, who confront this large | Jorce in the Heid, are catled by Spain “ingargents,”? | and their resistance to the Spanish authorities Spain denominates an “insurrection.” On tne contrary, the patriots call them themselves “the | Kepublic of Cuba: and the contest going on between these armed forces on the island they call “war.” Spain on the side denies stoutiy the existence of a war, and the opposing forces are auxious to secure 4 recognition, at ieast, of their belligerency. This recornition would enable the so-called patriots to demand humane treatment of prisoners of war as the contest pioceeds, and enter into legal con- tracts with other people’s for aid and support. In the absence of such recognition Spain may regard them merely as criminals, and when captured, ponish them as such; but she loses the | right, on the other hand, to ciaim the rightsota | bellicerant vessel, one of the most important of Which is the right to prohibit tne importation of contraband of war, and Lo search merchant sbips of neutrals. ‘Co prevent a violation of her belligerent | rights they had no right wuatever to molest aship | on the high seas belonging to another nationality even if known to be freighted with arms and mi nitions of war; for this, in time of peace, would be | a lawiul cargo, whether destined for a port in Cuba or elsewhere. On their arrival within the jurisdic. tion of Spatn they would become amenable to her laws, civil and criminal, and not before. Spain's crror in the case of the Vir- ginins consisted in her claim of the rignt to arrest citizens of other countries, and to punish them as crimiuals tor Haven dings as she alleges, the viola- tion of the criminal code after their arrival! in the country. Such a proposition can never be conceded by the government of the United States. SENATOR BOULWELL’S VIEWS. CHICAGO, Nov. 22, 1873, Hon. George S, Boutwell, Massachusetts Senator and ex-Secretary of the Treasury, delivered a leo- ture on finance and the panic before a large audi- ence in Union Park Congregational church. This evening, at the close of his lecture, he made elo- quent reérence to the present difficulties with Spain. He said:— The public mind is disturbed by rumors and sug- | gestions of war. They naturally alarm busi- ness men and affect temporarily the finances of the country. If these rumors and apprebensions were to be followed by the actual Jact of war then, of course, the consequences to our own finances | could not be otherwise than serious. I do not to-night, however, dwell upon these consequences, | and I only allude to these rumors for the purpose of invoking your wisdom In public affairs. War is agreat calamity. It is not to be sought, certainly not to be accepted, except in defence of national | rights or for the preservation of national honor. These outrages, the character of which cannot be too strongly depicted, if they are in viola- | tion of our rights as @ nation, must be | redressed, and if we obtain no satisfactory redress | I suppose we shall be united in vindicating the rights of our country. (Cheers.) But we are bound upon general principles, and we are bound, | especially now, to use every means possible for the | preservation of our rights and the protection of our | citizens without resort to war. (Loud applause.) | Neither the courage nor the military capacity of this nation needs further jliustration, and I say this of men of the South as well as of men Of the North. (Cheers.) They demonstrated in a war—which we | believed to be unjust—through tour long years, their courage and their military capacity, and their ultimate overthrow was bo reflection upon these men, Thereiore, none of us, of tie North or of the South, need any Support upon this point. We can atiord to be generous and to ask only for that which is just. There are many questions, gentlemen, in con- nection with this subject that are important and essential to the formation of a correct official and | public opinion. The character of the ve-sel— | whether she was lawfully under the flag of the United States? Whether she had violated the neutrality laws of the countryy Whether, in any manner, the persons in charge of herand on board of her by their conduct have | ut themseives beyond the jurisdiction of our laws? | These and other questions, grave in their char- | acter, can be solved when aii the facts are known, | and they cannot be sotved until the facts are | When the facts are Known, and when these questions are subjected to the test o1 expe- rience, usage and law, these persons charged | with ‘the responsible omice of adininister- | ing the affairs of the country, and the | people of this country as ‘well, can | Jaage what ought to be done. But until that time | arrives { implore you to listen to no appeals, to be | influenced by no suggestions of revenge, but to wait patiently until your information is com- plete; and then, as American citizens, decide What ought to be done, These are great questions in which we have a concern, | For three-fourths of a century we have held up the fag of republicanism upon this continent, through most of that period dimmed by one fonl blot on our name, our character and our institutions, now hap pily, Pt through blood, removed, In all that eriod other nations, and especially France, have jooked to us as an example; to our capacity for war; the strength of the institutions which that great conflict developed; the integrity and power of our people since the war in assuming all its political and financial responsibilities, Mecting heavy taxation and re- ducing rapidly the public debt has filled the intel- | lectual and thinking people of Europe with the highest ideas of the American people and Ameri- can institutions. (Applause.) These ideas have penetrated Europe. They are caiculated, they are destined, indeed, to produce important humanizing, civilizing results, as we believe, and to-day we see France and Spain struggling to establish republican institutions in those countries, Upon the basis of republican tdeas Spain is led, tn the administration ot her aifairs to-day, by the first republican, intellectually, of the hour, These associations, which belong not merely to the results patent to us in times past, but the associations which are evoked by the preseny condition of things, impose upon us the duty of dealing with Spain upon principles legally, historically and morally just. (Applause.) Spain has had a great history. She may have, under the lead of republican ideas and republican: institutiogs, a great future, After quoting an old author on the noble charace teristics of Spaniards in the sixteenth century Mr, Boutwell closed by saying:—“A people of whom this could be justly said three centuries ago must have strong blood in their veins, and though in the Spanish race and cl ter there are features and {raiities which perhaps we cannot approve, still may we not hope that under the influence of modern Civili zation, under the influence of republican ideas, under the power of repubiican institutions, that In Spain something of the past greatness may be iilus- trated in their future ; and as to-day the republicans of Spain are struggling to enter upon a poiicy which to them promises such splendid results, let it not be laid to our doors that we are responsible for the faliure of the attempt.” ‘The lecture was listeried to by over 1,000 persons, aad was loudly cygered, r | the’ slip, | long to us as fathers, son: Farther Particulars of the Qutrage on the American Flag—How It Is Under= stood in Jamuicu—Action of the Peru- vian Consul—interesting Details. The following correspondence, embracing further details of the Virginius trageay, has been received in tnis city by Dr. Manuel Govin, and was yesterday made public at the rooms of the Amigos de Cuba, in Exchange place. The letters are from Jamaica, and the first is a transcript of an article published in the Colonial Standard, of Kingston, Among the members of the Society of Amizos present at the dinner yesterday were Setlors Nogrul, Aldarna, Cesneros, Govin and Arteaga, and General Fran- cisco V. Aguilera. Dr. Govin stated that he had seen a letter, ad- dresesd to Mrs. neral Ques from General Bernabe de Varona, in which the General used the following languag ‘Lam about to die. Icould live longer, but I cannot do so without losing my | Proposals (to betray my comrades) have | honor. been made to me, but I cannot accept them, fer to die rather tnan to live without honor. The other communications are as follows :— The American steamer Virginius left ths port ipre- October 22, having been duly cleared by the cus- | tom house authorities, ier papers being quite in order, She proceeded to Port au Prince, where she only remained twenty-four hours, after which she was compelled to leave, and did so on the 28th at twelve noon, She was soon chased by three Spanish war steamers, but managed to get away, There were seve other Spanish war steamers along the Cuban and Haytien coasts, awaiting her appear- ance, While other war veasels were cruising in the passage between Hayti and Cuba. On the night of the 29th she was again chased, but the brave little vessel once more sueceeded in eluding the enemy. TRE CAPTURE OF THE VIRGINIUS. On the following morning, the 30th, she was again chased, and again succeeded in giving them but soon alter tell in with more Spanish vessels, * * * Supplies of pork and hams were burned. The Virginius still held Yr own, pursued by four Spaniards. All munitions of war were then thrown overbourd, After twenty hours’ chase she was captured near Port Autourd by El Tornado. Shell were thrown at her, two of the balls striking her hull and smokestack. ‘The Virginius then hove to, still fying the American colors, Varona advocated the blowing up of the powder magazine so thatthey Should not fali into the hands of the Spaniards. Captain Fry said they were in neutral waters and under the American flag. Varona and his followers seemed satistied. An officer from the Tornado boarded the Virginius and demanded her papers. The ofticer, alter inspection, said they were correc but they must consider themselves his prisoners. Varona replied he considered himseli a prisoner because there was no English or American ves- sel present to Witness this scandal, The Amer- ican flag he considered their protection, and he had surrendered under that protection; but he knew he would be a victim, since the Spanish govern- ment ali along had hated him. They were taken aboard the Vornado and put in irons, ARRIVAL AT SANTIAGO. The Virginius was taken in tow, aad the two | vesseis arrived at Santiago on October 31, at six o’clock P. M. Varona and Ryan's behavior won the admiration of t panish om, ‘The news of the arrival spre: nidly through the city, and the effects of the news were most brutal. Tue Span- jards paraded through the streets, shouung “Death to the pirates!) They demanded that the troops irom the neighboring garrison should be brought to the city, and 4,000 were sent in. At midnight the captives were paraded through the streets, and, two and two, handcuffed, marched to jail amid a yelling and shouting crowa. TNE EXECUTIONS. On the morning of the 5th Cespedes, Del Sol, Ryan and Varona were taken to the place of execution, about one mile distant. The sour victims were surrounded by a strong escort of Spanish soldiers. Varona, calm and §col- lected, marched amidst the jagrs and vocifera- tions of the moo. At ~ the place of execution Cespedes and Del Sol were forced to kneel, in which position they were shot in the back. Ryan aud Varona were next directed to kneel, but reiused, and were seized and thrown to the ground, handcuffed all ghe time. The two victims begged their tormentors to let them die standing, and, having offered further resistance, were murdered standing. Ryan was not immediately killed, and @ Spanish officer thrust a sword through his neart. Varona died easily. Then down upen the corpses, yet warm, came the bloodihristy mob, and, sever- ing the leads of the victums from ‘the bodies, placed them on pikes and carried them through the city. The Peruvian Consul’s Account. The ,ollowing letter was received yesterday from the Peruvian Consul at Jamaica by Sefor Govin:— KiNoston, Jamaica, Novy. 9, 18 Dear StmR—I am uot aware Uf the Spanish author- ities have permitted telegrams to be sent from St. Jago giving particulars of the illegal capture of the Virginius and the whoilesaie and ruthless murder of nearly 60 of those who were on board. I en- close here a copy of a telegram I received on the Sth, at five P. M.; also a bulletin puplished at noon pagrton and copy ofa telegram received at ten o’clock this morning trom the American Vice Uon- sulin reply to @ message sent him yesterday. ‘These will give you such information as we have in respect to the untimely death of one of Cuba’s best and noblest sons, General Varona—he who had not a thought for the valuable blood that was to be poured on the ground where his sacrificers stood. but whose entire thought was directed toward the Nberation of his country trom the cruel hand of despotic and tyrannizing Spain. In no less | lignt can we regard the UNSELFISHNESS OF GENERAL RYAN, who, not for his country, but for yours, in the cause of freedom, nobly fonght and honorably won the eternal pratitude of the sons of Cuba and their sympathizers. The blood and ashes ol those men rise from the ground, and must jepgrait in our bodies and innoculate the blood not alone of Cubans, but of every man who feels with you and for you, with their wrongs. To avenge their deatbs must be an additional incen- tive to prosecute the war which is being waged ina holy and just cause. The massacre of such men must produce in our hearis the feelings which be- and brothers, We must rieve and mourn, but there must be a stronger eeling still, and that must be for REVENGE AND JUSTICR. Hearing on Thursday that it was likely Ameri- cans and English would share the same fate as had been meted out to Cubans, I called on the Com- modore ai Port Royal, and after a lengthy inter- view was successiul in persuading him to send the British steamer-of-war Niobe to Sgntiago, and in two hours and a half she was on her way, but not veing a quick boat, did not arrive there until wo o'clock yesterday. Since her arrival [learn that no gnore executions have taken place. Lb learn, and which I shalt take good care to ascertain, if possible, the truth of, that a@ small vessel called the Village Belle saw the Virginius steaming towards Jamaica, ap- parently from Cuba, but nearer to Jamaica than | vw Cuba; that she was being hotly pursued by two other steamers. Farther, it is reported that irom some part of the island the steamers were seen, and one was observed to fire cannon, but whether this latter be true I doubt. It appears quite clear to my mind that THE VIRUINIUS WAS CAPTURED IN NEUTRAL WATERS, and that there ts nothing to show that she even attempted to effect a landing, as the offictal de- spatches say that when first seen she was eight miles from the coast. Conse- quently it was merely a presumption that she intended to jand; and as no arms or ammunition were found on board It cannot ve proved that she had any.: Next, if she had she was merely a blockade runner; and as such, if she attempted a landing, was guilty of no act to do more than to pro- duce contiscation of her cargo.

Tweed, and the particulars of the remarkable | sentence of 12 years’ imprisonment in the Peniten- | | tiary and the fine of $12,300, This morning, at one o'clock, Mr, Tweed passed through the iron gates of the Tombs, where he was temporarily committed until his removal to the Penitentiary on Blackweil’s Island. He was ac- companied to the prison by Deputy Sheriff Shields and Michael Cahill, with several Deputy Sheriffs as assistants, and also General William M. Tweed, Mr. Richard Tweed, brother of the prisoner; Mr. Foster Dewey and Mr. McGuin- ness, son-in-law of Mr. Tweed. The doors of the Tombs were thrown open on_ the arrival of the carriages by the watchman, whom Mr. Tweed greeted in his usual genial way, and said, “Well, Join, how are you? I never ex- pected to meet you here, like this.’ “John,” with evident sincerity and considerable feeling, said, “Ves, Mr. Tweed, I am sorry to have to meet you like tunis,’ ‘this little incident over, the prisoner passed a little way into the cor- ridor, and bad o short, confidential conver- sation with Mr. Shields, who quictiy intimated to his prisoner that all was ready, and he passed within the enclosure, with his son, Mr. Dewey and Shields, to the court yard and was placed in No. 6 cell, Which is on the lower tierof the prison. A short time was spent in making the preparations for the nigpt, and his friends, who had accompanied him, bade him “boodby”? and leit him with mant- Jest evidences of sorrow to spend his first night in aprison. To the last moment Mr. Tweed kept up bis average flow of spirits, and assumed that bravado and heroic air tor which he has been 80 remarkably distinguished throughout his extraor- dinary career. TWEED AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. The evening was spent by Mr. Tweed, lis coun- sel, and several of his friends, in the private room of Sheruf Brepnan’s office. This caused by the unavoidable di making out the commitment cierk of the Court, Mr. documents were very lengthy, as tne sentence in all its details had to be set forth with ali the de of legal minuteness. The time was whi by Tweed with consultations with ul sel and the partaking of supper, which was sent over irom Delmonico’s. in reference to his sentence, Mr. Tweed remarked to the rey of the HERALD that he thought tue Jud F “pretty severe’ upon him, and in the sentence showed consicerabie feeling, and occasionally al- most passion, Striking the bench with luis fist’ to entorce the causticness of his re- marks. He thought Judge Davis went out of his Way to make an unnecessary aud untruthful remark when he said, “I sat in the court during the whole of the trial, ap to the time of the ver- dict, with & look of defiance upoa my face. “Well,”’ said Mr. Tweed, ‘4 can’t help my looks, bat I know I didu’t ery; but I never telt defiant, and when the Judge charges me with thinking that the corruption of myself or my {friends would bring nie out all right he states that which was utterly untrue. I must say, however, that Davis isa very smart fellow, smart as a steel trap; but he allowed his feeling to master him. He had no business to | keep me standing ali that time to be lectured; bis duty was to pass sentence, and no more.’ In re- ply to an inquiry as to what he thought of the sen- tence, Mr. Tweed said, directly he began to put the counts into groups of four, {thought what he was going todo, and 1 was not mistaken, He impri- soned Ine on the Keyser counts and fined me on the others.’ “Did you expect 12 years, then?’ in- quired the reporter. “No; 1 thought he would have stopped at the ten; but! guess he stumbled on the two odd counts, and so made it 12.” Further conversation of Mr. Tweed as to the sentence, evidently showed that he hag still faith that the omuipotence of the intricacies and uncertainties of the law will save him the degradation 01 a visit to the Penitentiary, and that it will not be long before he’ Will be a comparatively free man. The portraits of prominent political men, all of whom were friends of Mr. Tweed, that were suspended on the walls, paturaliy originated | conversation in the direction of politics, and it | Was positively astonishing to heur the “ex Boss’ talk of men and things, with the old ring of power in his sentenees, and with an evident forgetfulness that he was no jonger the great ruling political | spirit of the city, and only a convict on nis way to | 1 | wilt the Penitentiary. He was asked what he thought of Ingersoll'’s chances next week, and he said very confidently that he could not be convicted. He had, however, a very different judgment as to another prominent politician, who follow Ingersoli a8 @ prisoner in of Oyer and Terminer. Alluston was made to “Dick Connolly.” Ah,” said Mr. Tweed, “Dick is living in clover in Europe on $3,000 a year, and he is the cause of all this trouble and ought to be where Lam." In conversation like this the hours whiled away as they were struck ont on the silver lines of Sneriff Brennan’s timepiece. him, and shortly aiter their departure Mr. Tweed took a sound eget’ 4 on the couch in the Sheritt’s little snugeery adjoining his private office. He was woke up When the carriage came to take him to the Tombs, and, shaking Imseli irom his sleep, he made a little joke about going to prison so early in the morning.
