3. THE CANAL RING ARRAIGNED —— The Commotion Caused by Governor Til- den’s Special Message. A Remarkable Interviewing Scene in Mayor Wickham’s Othee. Senator Lord Draws Tomahawk. The Governor Denouneed a Partner of Tweed, who Turns “Informer.” Speaker McGuire Neutral and Anxious to | Preserve Harmony in the Party. The Caucusing at the Metropol- itan Hotel. presentative of the HERALD yesterday called at the Metropolitan Hotel with a view of | ascertaining Senator Jarvis Lord’s views upon the | special Message of Governor Tilden rélative to the mismanagement of the canals and the fraucs of the Canal Ring, He was imformed that the Senator and other poilitcians nad gone to the Mayor’s office to attend a conlerence at one o’clock. Thither the writer repaired, and, send- jag in his card, was soon admitted. There ne found a large number of politicians of the city and State, including Speaker McGuire, Assembly- mao Johnson and ex-Speaker Hitchman. When imiormed of the object of the reporter’s visit | Senator Lord left the litue coterie of politicians behind the Mayor’s desk, with whom he was in conterence, with the remark— “There is no better opportunity for me to talk to you than the present. Come aside.’ He conducted the reporter to a window at the east side of the room, and, alter they had taken seas, Senator Lord opened ju this way:— Senator Lorp—You want to talk, sir. I sup- posed Tilden owned all the papers. He says ne bas bought them ail. REPORTER—In what way has the Governor made this statement? In private conversation, eh ? Senator Lorp—Yes, sir; and—(hesitating)— from the tone of them I shoald judge that he had, ithas got to be a bad state of things, don’t you think, When theGovernor of a Siate buys up the press ? REPORTER—Has he stated in public that he nas bought up the press ? Senator Lorp—Yes, to many; that he has paid a Jarge sum of money to control the press. REPORTER—Has he named the papers? Senator Lonp—From what he said a man could | Msinuate (infer—REPORTER) that ne had bought them all. REPORTER—AIi the press of the State, Senator ? Senator LorD—No; all in the city. REPORTER—Has he made that statement to you personally ? Senator Lonp—Yes. ReEporTER—When ? Recently? Senator Lorp—Not since the 1st‘of January. KEPORTER—And you naturally infer that—— Senavor Lorp (ivterrupting)—That he owns them, and I think it is a very dangerous state of things when the Governor or any one else at- tempts to corrupt the press. Don’t you? REPORTER—Certainly. But what about bis Mes- wage? Senator Lonp—There 1s nothing in nis Message but what is on file in the Auditor's office that any- body can read. They are open toeverybody. He Dus given no new light upon the canal frauds, if uuy exist. REPORTER—Then, What do you conceive to be the otect of Governor Tilden for this Message * Seuutor Lorp—It is with the idea that it will | make him popular~ he has the White House on the | craw. I can’t see bow it will advance him in that | direction very much, I think it will be diMcult for him to make the people believe that all the State officers who bave been elected by the people as members of the Canal Board in the last twenty Jears have veen corrupt men. I have known most of ‘hem, and believe them to be honest and up- right men, From my kvowledge of the Governor ibave never seen anything to believe that heis | more honest than the common ron of— REPORTER—Shall I say “men,” “politicians” or “officials ?” Senator Lorp—Men—mea, The Senator here hesitated for a few moments and fast gladces over in the direction of the politicians who were gathered about the desk of Mayor Wick- bam. He then resumed as follows, speaking very slowly, a8 though weighing tue effect of his utter- ences : Senator Lonp—All the robberies committed in | the city of New York were perpetrated upon the Treasury by tne Tammany Ring while he (Tilden) Was at the head of it. That’s so, isn’t it? Rerortzr—i don't know. He was a member of te Tammany Society, it is true, but he was not at the head of Tammany. Seugtor Loxp—He and Tweed always attended | vonwentions togetuer. Tney were both delegates Op w 1871, when | TILDEN TCRNED INFORMER | @mm sent Tweed to Black well’s Island. | ReprorxTeR—That i3 @ very explicit charge, Senator Lorp—Yes, Tilden’s “particular friena” 10 the Legislature of 1872 was Attorney General Barlow, who was said to be one of the most un- gerupuious republicans In the State. He is said 10 be ove of the class characterized by the late lamented Havemeyer as those who SIT UP ALL NIGHT TO CHEAT EaCH OTHER md ali day to cheat the pubiie. REPORTER—But, Senator, the Governor makes direct charges of iraud, and it is claimed by some that you are A MEMBER OF THE CANAL RING. Senator Lonp—I do not believe there nave been @DY trauds perpetrated. If solam not aware of them, bora party to them. If having work in the jorm of contracts on the canals makes @ man @ member of the Canal Ring you can class me as a member of 1t {rom 1860 to 1870. That record 1am proud of. By reierring to the Canal Auditor's re- ports during this period you will find that the Canal Ring—if you choose to call it so—paid into the treasury of the State over $3,000,000 per year over and above the cost of maintenance, making in ten years over THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS PAID INTO THE TREASURY toward extinguishing the cama! debt, Had the Canalis been run in that way until 1874 the canal debt would have been paid. But Horatio Seymour advocated in 18704 reduction of tolls and jarge expenditures for completing tue canais, which wes adopted by the Legisiature against very earnest protest. Since thattime the people have deen taxed, and unjustly so, for the matutenance of whe canais, My position was in 1870 that all the Work and expenses jor the maintenance of these public works should have been paid from the re- eources of the same, 1p 1875 we fou our distin. guished Governor AWAKING PROM A RIP VAN WINKLE SLEEP ud trying to impress upoa the people that he has made anew discovery vy sending a special Mes- sage to the Legisiature advocating the same policy advocated in the Legisiature of 1870, ex- cept in the reduction of tolls. re Speaker McGuire ana other politicians @p- pesied to the Senator from the Twenty-eignth district to leave and not permit himseif to be “pamped dry ;"’ but the Senator displayed a desire to be pumped to the sediment and continued: — Senator LonD—In that particalar (toils) in bis anual Message Governer Tilden was sound, Now, | able to say. ila |THE FAIR OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, A NEW within @ period of sixty days, he has gone into leayue with THE BUFFALO ELEVATORS AND “SCALPERS,"* and in his special Message repudiates the policy | of bis annual Message. RerorreR—What do you mean by Buifalo scalp ers? Senator Lorp—Middle men. The work on the canals in the past ten years tag not overrun the estimated cost of construction any more than they did in the previous twenty years. The great trouble With the management of the canals is that | the Legislature has been continually ABRIDGING TH POWERS OF THE COMMISSIONERS, placing the canals in the bands of the Canal Board. 1 have introduced a bill in this Legislature which has been formally reported by the Canal Commit- | tee of the Senate, and whteb provides for the ex- | tension of the powers of the Caual Commission. Here another attempt on the part of the poll- ticians in the room was made to induve the OLD VETERAN FROM MONROE to end the interview, and Speaker McGuire and others, hat in Nand, asked Dim to accompany them. Mr. Lord, however, seemed determined now that he had sat down to answer the Governor's special Message—to brook no interruption,, and, alter | intimating that the Speaker and bis friends could either wait his leisure or go, he turned to the reporter and continued, Senator Lorp—As I was going to say, this bill is similar to the one introguced by Senator Harden- burgh in 187@ (advocated by me), which passed the Legisiature, but failed to become a law, owlug to Tweed's influence. Heré senator Lord arose from his seat to join the coterie of politicians who ha@d so olten attempted to close his month, and ag he bade the HERALD reporter goouby he whispered in alow voice — Senator Lorp—Please be carejul to report me correctly. 1 Want you to give it all, 1 want to see whether Tilden’s boast that he has bought ap the press of New York is tra The interview here ended, Senator Lord joining his anxious iriends, It is notorious in political circles that the Mes- sage of the Governor drove to this city an im- mense delegation of politicians and lubbytsts, more or less interested in the Canal Ring that the Governor so emphatically Jenounces in bis Mes- sage. At four o’clock P. M,a@ reporter found in the rotunda of the Metropolital Hotel Senators, Assemblymen and politicians from all parts of the State in earnest conversation and conference with each other as to GOVERNOR TILDEN’S THUNDERBOLT, that had so suddenly and unexpectedly fallen Upon them. All were very violent against the Governor, ond the genera} expression was, “TILDEN HAS ORDERED HIS COFFIN.” Interest naturally centred upon Speaker Mc- Guire (who wasa@ guest of the hotel), Assembiy- Man Johnson and Senator Lord, reference to whom has been made above. A friend of the Speaker, who is an ex-State Prison Inspector, stated to the writer that in this fight SPEAKER M’GUIRE IS NEUTRAL. That while he differs with the Governor as to the points covered in his Message he is so devotedly interested in the maintenance of harmony within the party that he has personally avoided coming in contact with metropolitan journalists, and would ieave on the six o’clock train for Albany, This view of tne case was a few minutes later con- firmed py Colonel Harrison, private secretary of the Mayor, who, carpet-bag in Land, entered the notel in search of the Speaker, whom he failed to find. Within afew minutes Senator Lord en- tered the rotunda, when he was beset by a crowd; but finally the HERALD reporter drew him INTO 4 PRIVATE ROOM and put the following questions to him, which elicited very ready answers :— REPORTER—Senator, let me ask you asto Gov- ernor Tilden’s political prospects in the southern ter of the State, is he personally popular? Senator LonD—He says be is very strong; but L have understood that Senator Bradley, of the Twenty-seventh District, Speaker McGuire of Elmira, Congressman Walker, of Corning, George McUee, of Watkins, and all of the democratic | strength in that locality, have been endevoring | | to get a repablican appointed by Governor Dix on account of his political faith removed ‘rom office. Up to this time they have failed, and it is | pretty generally understood that they are THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THE GOVERNOR. REPoRTER—Is that disgust condned to the south- ern tier ¢ Senator Lorp—I have heard great complaints from democrats from ail parts of the State that io order TO REACH THE EXECUTIVE EAR they are compelled to march through a file of re- publican subordinates at the Executive Chamber in Albany. REPoRTER—Senator, the question naturally pre- | sents itself nere whether in your opinion Governor Tilden could carry the delegates from this State | a8 @ candidate tor the Presidential nomination ¢ This question, so suddenly thrown at the Sena- tor, caused im to hesitate and ask for a slight | | change in the phraseology of the question, which asgiven above met bis approval. To it he re sponded :— Senator Lorp—If the State Convention was held to-morrow to choose delegates to the National Convention | do not beileve TILDEN COULD CARRY TEN ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS, But how strong he may be in the future lam not Lhope, however, for the sake of the party he may not become weaker. This terminated the interview, and persons in- terested, by the time they read this, will come to the conclusion that when the veteran democratic Senator from Monroe decides to unbosom nimself to the press, he can’r be choked off, even in the presence of the Mayor, when Speaker McGuire and a score oi democratic leaders stand bat in hand to silence him. HARLEM. For the first time in elght years Sr. Paul's Roman Catuolic church 1s to indulge ina fair. As a gen- eral thing, owing to their frequency, fairs are re- garded by the charitably inclined as an inevitable nuisance, but the present instance is a noticeable exception, Father McGuire, tne pastor, and Father O’Beefe, his assistant, have, notwitnstand- | ing the onerous duties imposed upon them during the Lenten season, contrived to spare much time and labor to the periection of the preparations. Mra, Wolioran, Mrs. Kelly, Miss Dat, Miss McCue, Miss McClennan, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Shanley, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. kawards and o host or other kind juuies have for the past six weeks been collecting, and the money donations, &c., already on band warrant the assertion that the lair wili be a grand success. Anotuer fact which augars favorably ts the zest with which the congregation have entered into the affair.

STRUGGLES OF ‘THE VERY DESTITUTE—EPI- SODES IN THE DAILY LIFE OF A GUILD PHYSICIAN—CHARITY OF THE MISERABLE, Daily tne volunteer visitors of the Guild in Varick street open up obscure byways aud shed higut upon strange lives, None of them make such startling discoveries as the physicians, who, from the very nature of their visits, receive the more confidential and complete narratives of the poor in whose homes they enter. The story of lwo wretched families, a8 it is told in the Jollowing words of Dr. Brush, would find many peraliels were the tenements of the city to give upevena tithe of their secrets, Beneath these simple re- citals there 18 @ World of woe which has been ene dured and is being endured by the little street Arabs who have homes inthe dingy human hives of the lower wards apd in the narrow streets, courts and alleyways contiguous to our business centres, A LITTLE SKY PARLOR in Thames street is the home of a number of these waifs. An old woman has lived there for along time, going hungry and cold to bed oftentimes, but able to eke out the small sum demanded jor rent by the sale of apples in the streets. She nas a@ bed anda scanty supply of bedclothing, ana she is growing very infirm, One day there came to vhe corner of the street where she sells her fruit a Wotnan with three children, They were hungry like herself and as poorly clad, They were even more uffortunate, for they had no place to shelter their heads, Their landlord had turned them out for non-payment of rent. This happened in No- vember last, on @ day when the winds whistled noisily, announcing the approach of winter. The crone sitting in the shelter by ner apple stand pulied the dress of the homeless woman. She questioned her, all the time eyeing her keenly. THE WANDERING MOTHER Was sore distressed and night was coming on. The cuildrea stood at the street corner with red hands ana biue noses. Now and then they blew upon their fingers to warm them. The crone calied to them and gave them eaca an apple, Then she turned to the mother and said, “Come with me,’’ and she took them all home. ‘The sky parlor was ten feet square and she gave them each @ space to lie on, They slept on the bare boards and the old woman retired to her bed ot rags. In the morning the crone taught them how to live. Tne mother, who had long been an in- valid, suffering from a disease irom which her husband had died three years before, was leit ‘to mind the house.” Mary, a@ girl of fourteen, was sent to pick cinders from the ash barreis and to search for bits of wood in the gutters. There had been @ light fal! of snow followed by @ cold, driz- zing rain, aud Jennie, who is ten, was SENT TO SWEEP THE CROSSINGS, Then the old apple woman counted out to the boy, Who was thirteen, a lew pennies, with which he was to begin the business of Itfe by seiling newspapers. And the other day she said te Dr. Brush and the writer, ‘Sure ye don’t know how nice We gits along now, Wid tommy at the pape: and Mary iurnishin’ the cinders for the fire, and Little Jennie bringin’ in a fine lot of pennies every stormy day from the strate below. Often and oiten, docther dear, beiore I took them home wid me. 1! wint to bed cold aud Wet ag Well as hungry; but now, glory be to God, 1 have me sh’kin as dnry as an oven velore L go to shiape.

Since then Mary spenas haif her time watching on a neighboring corner and when the police olficer appears she cries to the sweeper, “Hi! tit!

WALL STREET NOTES, THE GOLD GRABBERS’ GAME—TREASURY are FAIRS—DIVIDENDS OF RAILROADS. * There was nothing of pecaliar interest on Wall street to-day, except the general situation, which was most encouraging to the buyers of stocks, the | fluctuations in which will be found recorded in the proper column. THE GOLD MARKET | presented the curious features of an increase in the regerves of the banks and an advance in the premium at the same time. There ts no doubt that tne holders of coin soid largely on Friday, and it 1s the general impression that they took back their gold at a profit of about three-quarters of one percent, The merchants were encouraged by the weakness of tne gold market yesterday to increase their lines of short sales, under the impression that the backbone of the clique was broken, but as gold sold at 116 at the close of the market, it may well be doubted whetuer their hypothesis was correct. The distinct assertion or Secretary Bristow to a HERALD reporter, that he did not tn- tend to interfere with Wall street tactics in any way, should convince the merchants that their oniy hope is to let the gold grabvers severely alone; buying their coim when they need it, with- out reference to the complications brought about by the speculators, and letting tue latter work out the solution of their politico-econumic proviems Wo their OWD }TOUL OF ju8s—as toe Case ay be. t may be 01 Nterest im Lis vont the following irom Havana :—Go.d.

THIEVES ENTER THE ST. NICHOLAS BANK—THEY ARE BEATEN OFF BY THE PORTER. On Friday evening some men attempted to rob the St. Nicholas Bank, at the corner of Wall street, For some time repairs have been going on in the building, and it is supposed the rovbers gained admission during the day, pretending to be work- men, and concealed themselves among the débris of the repairs, The attempt was mude uneuc- cessiul, however, by the porter of the bank, named David RK. Price, Early on Saturday morning this man was sleeping on his couch in the bank bullding, when he was suddenly awakened by the notse of footsteps. On looking around he saw a strange man standing by his bédside and two others at a little distauce. The man by the bedside seeing that the porter was awake told him to Keep still, and that all they Wanted was money. Price sprang up and ex- claimed, “but I’m not here to let you,” aud at the game moment setzed him by his shoulder. Price 18 @ very poweriul man apd would soon have succeeded in getting the better of his ad- -versary had not the latter called his companions, and all three set upon Price and endeavored to beat him, The latter succeeded in warding off their blows for some time. He had a revolver on the couch, but the men were between him and it, and he could not reach it, spite of all is en- deavors, Still he continued to fight maniully against them, They succeeded in getting a nand- cuff on Brice’s ieit wrist. The struggle iasted so loug that the robbers grew alarmed, at length, lest the police on either Wall or New street should hear the scuiie, aud ata given sigoal all bolted towara New street und jumped througn ine window of the President's room and disappeared. Price gaye the alarm and Koundsman George Spence, of the Firat precinct Who Was standing on the corner oi! Pine street and Broadway, heard it, He ran to Wail street and Broadway ana down Wall street to New. When he came to New street he saw two inen running down toward Beaver and he gave chase, ‘fhe men turned into No, 48 New street, whic 1s also No, 48 Broad street, the haliway ranning through from street ty street. into tois dark halle Way the roundsman followed but could not find the men. He Went to the top fluor, on which the janitor sleeps, and asked for alight, which was not given to him, When the rounusman was coming down stairs he met John Batterverry, the janitor of the building, comming along the lower entry with a lighted match, The roundsman told Bat- teroerry he bad foilowed two burglars into the building, and asked the janitor how be had come in, ‘The janitor said be had come in on the Broad Street side and bad locked the door. Spence or- dered nim to open the Broad street door, which he did. On going out the roundsman found a striped cap with two eye holes cut in it and a bunch of skeleton keys. Officer Smith, of the First precinct, also heard the alarm, ane ran 1m the direction of Wall street, but could see nothing. When he weut to the slation Nouse he discvvered that the roundsman had arrested Batterberry, aud then he remem- bered that about twelve O’clovk Batterberry bad come to bim and asked him iM he wanted to make $59, aud having answered in the affirmative, the porter told him tue fol- lowing story, to Wit:—That during the alternoon a man had come to him and asked nimif he did not wish to make $50, aud having said he did, the man told him tu Watch and speak to the old man who would come out of the Woodhull-Clatlin office in company with Tennie, so that he could on @ luture occasion swear to his identity. After Naving accepted the offer tne janitor thought it savored too mucin of obvlackmatl and guardians of the public peace to perform tne little job. He met Smith, and Smith said he would earn the money. On this statement of facts Batterberry was held in $1,000 to unswer at the Tombs Pouce Court, not for burglary, but for felonious assault. Price’s head and iace, on which the marauders used a sand club, was terribly cut, and it is probable he will lose his eye. A DARING ROBBERY, eS, At noon yesterday, in the centre of business, th bookkeeper of the firm of McArthur & Co., brush and broom mantfacturers, No. 348 Pear! street, went to the Market Bank, corner of Beekman and Pear: streets, to draw money to pay the workmen, He had not proceeded more than half a block from the bank when he found himself encompassed by four men—two in front and two behind. One of the party raised an umbrella anda knocked off his hat, Woile replacing nis hat he witharew his hand from the coat pocket that contained the mouey, but immediately discovered tit the money was gone. One of the party ran toward acar which bad stopped at tne corner of Pearl street and Peck Ssilp. Tne bookkeeper followed him and caugnt hold of tim as he was entering the car, calling out “Stop thief!? He was there surrounded by @ number o! persons, who held nim who made his escape, and when he asked the con- auctor why he did not arrest the thief bis answer was, ‘1 am no tie: catcher.” BOLD ROBBERY. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, Just ag the morning police relief Was making its round, two men broke the glass of the show window of Mrs. Brown’s millinery store, No, 243 Broadway, Wiita: urg, and stole therefrom a quantity of velvet andrivbons. Before an alarm could be raised, it being broad daylight, the thieves had made good their escape. BURGLARY AND CAPTURE. About one o’clock yesterday morning the dry goods store of Mrs, Harriet Maxwell, No. 97 Union place, Greenpoint, was forcibly entered through the front windows, in spite of the protection of iron bars, and a quantity of merchandise packed up, ready for :emoval. Officer Green, however, Oticer Shannon, entered the premises, where they found a young man named Bryan Keiiy, whom they arrested. Kelly wag arraigned betore Justice Eliott and committed to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Cunningham, who was arrested in Newark on Friday on @ charge of conspiring to murder his wife, was admitted to ball yesterday in $5,000, Tue authorities are sorely puzzled to determine the legal name of the charge against him, and there is some doubt if he can be held, especially as the informer against him,a young man named Hatfield, does not bear a very good repu- tation, In an interview yesterday Mrs, Cunuing- ham stated in answer to a question as to the motive for the alleged attempt to kill her:—“Well, 1 suppose it's becuuse | am getting old and ugly, aud there are others who are younger and nand- somer; tnougo | am fiiteen years younger than him, only | duu’t put on as he does.

He aiso testifled that he was acquainted with Bullis, and had writ- ten letters to him, Mr. Hardenvurg, cashier ot tiie Hudson County Bank, was also called to testify, but he and Mr. Tayior, the paying teller, gave no In- jormation beyond what has already been pub- lished except that the former gentleman had a conversation with Builis, in which the latter Stated he did not want the money on the check, but simpiy wanted to go to State Prison and thus jive to ulmself, Dr. Hunt gave his opinion that Bullis was insane, or, at leas', that he was not of very sound mind. In answer to a question irom the Jusuce, ne replied that he had nothing to say. He was thereupon remanded for the action of the Grand Jury.
