THE DOOMSDAY OF ROBBERS The Convicted Chairmaker to Give State’s Evidence. SOLEMN TREATY IN PRISON. Charles O’Conor on the Policy of the Release. The announcement of the pardon of James 1. Ingersoll by Governor Tilden created quite a sen- sation yesterday, as the pubife mind was perfectly unprepared for such an extraordinary event, Tne | Governor’s action provoked much comment in infuential circles. “But of all the great Ring thieves,” one prominent lawyer said, “Ingersoll and Tweed were the oniy two who did notescape thetr condign punishment, and now Governor Ttlden has pardoned one of the two.’ Later in the day, however, when it became known that the actign of Governor Tiiden was prompted | by Ingersoli’s turning State’s evidence against the Ring and promising to testify against themin the great civil suits that are soon to be tried, these comments became rather more favorable. How- ever, there were still many shrewd, honest people who regarded this step on the part of Governor Tilden as a faux pas. WILL IT BENBFIT THE STATE? Garvey, they say, ought to be in State prison now, and would be, in all probability, nad he not been permitied to turn State’s evidence. And what did his testimony amount to? £x-Mayor Hall “was triumphantly acquitted, and now Garvey can enjoy his ill-gotten wealth for the remainder of his life. It was also remarked ‘py lawyers Who have given some time and study to these Ring suits, that there 1s really but very Litile hope of recovering any of the money stolen by the Ring, The principal defendant in these cases, they argued, is undoubtedly William M. Tweed, and there 1s no doubt that almost all nis wealth has beep swallowed up by tho mumerons array of expensive the douceurs (said to be quite heavy) which he must have given to certain oficials whose honored guest he has been in Black weil’s Island, This’ was the tone of popular comment yesterday, showing that Ingersoll’s pardon was not generally viewed with favor. INGERSOLL'S CASE.

At nine o’ciock last night @ HERALD reporter alighted at the lodze gate of the residence ot Mr. Charles O'Conor at Fort Washington, All was darkness, and the nigat wind sighed through the leafless branches overhead, The reporter cons gratulated himseli on having many times during daylight wandered up the narrow brick footpath that leads from the gate to the house, i A ring at the bell brought the servant, who tn- formed the reporter that Mr. U’Conor would be at leisure tn @ few moments, The writer had wane dered through two pages of the Diary of:the Atuc Pailosopher before Mr, O’Conor made nis appear- ance inthe Lorary. When the great lawyer had Seated himself the reporter made known his busi- ness, stating that he had called to learn tne reason Which had induced the discharge of Inger- soil, Mr, O'Conor said he was quite willing to give the HERALD any information which would be of bene. fitto it or the public, suggesting at the same time that the reporter frame the questions on whica iight was desired.

THE PARDON A POLITICAL NECESSITI— GOVERNOR TILDEN’S DEVOTION TO REFORM PROVED AT THE RISK OF HIS POPULARITI— A TRICK OF AN OFFICE-SEEKER CHECKMATED— INGERSOLL’S EVIDENCE SECURED BY SOLEMN TREATY. ALBANY, April 6, 1875, The action of Governor Tilden,in pardoning | James H. Ingersoll, one of the com¥ictea “Ring” robbers confined at Auburn Penitentiary, wi to-day the all-absorbing topic at the State Capitol. The gross frauds of the Canal “Ring” seemed to have been forgotten, and the political wiseacres of the State here assembled, wondered and shook their heaas mys- teriously. Governor Tilden was wiliing to see everybody to-day. Upon no other occasion during the present sesston was he so accessible, But when the conversation branched off into the only channel regarding which information was in de- mand the pleasant old gentieman smiled sadly at the corners of nis mouth and said, ‘Matters of this sore do not seem to keep as they used to, 1 regretted the publicity at this time when I first saw that the news- papers had it; but I suppose it would have leaked out soon enough; perhaps 1Vs just as well,” and this was the extent of the information publicly given the reporters. Much more was said, but when the delicate question regarding the Governor's reasons for the act was approacned His Excellency simply had to say that his vindica- tion would appear in duo time. Your correspondent respectfully declined to receive any information under the piedge of secrecy, although other cor- Tespondents cid so receive it. He is, therefore, able to make the following authentic statement:. SAMUEL J. TILDEN 48 CITIZEN AND AS GOVERNOR. When the new law, framed for the purpose of reclaiming the property stolen by the old “Ring”? from the city of New York, wentinto effect, it was supposed that the same sources of information and the same signatures to the papers used by Samuel J, Tilden could be obtained by SamuelJ, Tilden as Governor of the State of New York. lt was supposed that ‘the same Zeal for reform which in 1871 swept the metropolis irom end to end and took form ina Committee of Seventy, still existed. It might re- quire looking up, but Mr, Tilden’s and Mr, Peck- ham’s confidence in human nature was such that they believed each link of the chain of evidence to be within their grasp. To be sure, their mo valuable signatures, as well as assistance, had come from voluntary accomplices; yet the same great all, inspiring Motive to co-operation that had existed when Mr, Tilden was engaged tn his labor of re- form must be burning just as brightly to-day, The hearty longing for Justice, pure and simple, was a thing to be relied upon, Such, in brief, was the theory of Governor Tilden and his iriends; but there always has been more or k difference be- tween theory and practice. THE POLICY OF THE RELEASE OF INGHRSOLT. There was one thing that the shrewd politician either forgot or overlooked. He may have remem- bered with pleasure that most of the prominent members of that wonderful committee had been provided for; he may have had it in his mind to appoint even more of them to places of honored distinction; but he forgot that Samuel J. Tilden stood to the men who had gratuitously served him in very different relations from those occupied by Samuel J. ‘Tilden, Governor. in the old days, when reform ran rampant in every man’s veins and Mr. Tilden was one of the people, he was not in a position to reward his co- | adjutors by elevating them above the common level ana starting them on the way toward dis- tinction, In the year of our Lord 1875, however, the change in the relative positions of the two parties to the reform movement is very no- uuceabie. Mr. Tilden happens, as the sole resuis of this triumph over fraud, to be in a position to reward those who served bim, 50 long as he would be &ble to dispense with their co-operation, Whether he wonid recognize their claims or not rested solely with himselt. When, however, their assistance again became Indispensaole it may only be natural that they felt Justified in demanding recognition. Although [ nave sald nothing avout Ingersoll I have here told the whole story of his liberation, and have indi- cated @ political crisis which may arise to make such astrange act as this on the part of au Ex- ecutive not only judicious, but of vital necessity.

It became in this instance msurmountable. A for- mality became the canse of a most dangerous ex- pedient on the part of areform Governor. The die ther fatlure of these civil suits against ag” robbers was presented on the one hand and the grave political danger of being misunaer- stood on the other. As I sajd, nothing was wanting save the signature one man, a small individual, of trifling polttical tmportance, but a man of ambi- tien, fo draw tt mildly, “he had hopes.” When, | therefore, this suave, gentle and heretofore tract- able person was sent tor, he made bis appearance in Mr. Peckham's office with all the humility of a saint, but when the serious part of the business was reached—in other words, when he was politely requested to appena his signature to each of the documents—he politely but nrmly declined. who was valuable in his way, to be sure; but the small politician (whom I only refrain trom naming because I gave promised not to advertise him) became suddenly worth a hundred Garveys to the Tilcen pa ‘To a friend of the Governor, aside he at once frankly and characteristicaly ex piatned his reasons ant stated lis hopes, THE GOVERNOR'S RESOURCE ‘ ‘The Governor was at once urged to humor tne fancy of the man who held in his hands the key to success or failure of the great and much-adver. tised civil suits for the recovery of the city's | stolen money; but Governor Tilden was not to be dictated to even by so important an individual, Re spurned the man’s terms.

A TREATY WITH A CONVICT. This is the end of the story. There is much, very mach more that I conld tell you of the visits to Auburn, the solemn contract drawn up, at- | tested and sigaed by the convict, and the des perate resolution of the Governor to risk being misunderstood until the proper time should come ; but the details of one of the features comes so nearly within the verge of 4 confidence th: I think best to pass them all over. I may mateate one other idea, however, and that is that Ingersoll’s property has | always been within easy reach, even under the common law. It was simpiy transferred to the name of bis father, and such transier was made alter the commission of the forgeries for which he was convicted in a court of justice. The re- covery of money from Ingersoll would have been a mere formality. Will it be so now ? Does Ingersoll save his property as well as three years and a haif of his life? To sam tt ati up, then, I can only say that the sacrifice which Governor Tilden has made, | train was stil further delayed.

THE NEWS RECEIVED WITH INCREDULITY—— REASONS OF STATE YOR THE GOVERNOR'S ACTION—INGERSOLL LIKELY TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST THE BING. ALayy, N, Y., April 6, 1875 Now that the canal excitement bas almost died out nere, comparatively speaking, the main topi¢ of discussion among the legislators to-day hag been the parduning of Ingersoll by Governo) Tilden, Although the announcement was made ty a few hi published in the Albany morning journals none of the Senators or the Assembly. men seemed to know anything abontit. Questions of opinion In relation to the pardon were met with shrug of doubt as to the authority of the state ment. REASONS OF STATE. On being approached upon the subject Governoy ‘Yilaen refused to give any definite causes for hue action, He intimated, however, that in a few daya he would give the entire story to the public, It was conceded among all with whom I conversed that the exercise of the pardoning power in this particular case bad been done with the object of securing Ingersoll’s testimony in ‘the Ring’ civil suits now pending. In fact, gentlemen ciosely im the confidence of the Governor admitted this fact, and (nis, tomy mind, ends any speculation upom the Governor's action, VIEWS OF 4 PROMINENT POLITICIAN, One of the many prominent politicians whe visit Albany so frequently during legislative ses- sions gave me the benefit of his ideas on the pardon, He scouted the notion at once that Governor Tilden had opened the gates of Aubara Prison for Ingersoll simply through motives of compassion. ‘Oh, no,” be remarked, “Tilden could never afford to do that at this particular time, when he has just inaugurated a war againss gnother gigantic ring. The public sentiment is just now entirely in favor of punishments to pud~ ite plunderers and will not tolerate leniency tm that direction.” “Ingersoll,” I remarked, “has always been re garded as one of the prinotpal men 1n the Ring, and therefore could not be pardoned on she merits of his case, He was fairly convicted and sentenced for forgery.” INGERSOLL TO GIVE STATE'S EVIDENCE. “Yes, he 1s evidently pardoned on condition that he will turn State’sevidenc® He was tne principal man to whom most of the warrants were assigned, and he made the divisions, Messrs, O’Conor and Peckham wish to succeed in the civil suits for recovery of money stolen irom the people, At present the only evidence is the bank account, which shows equal divisions to Tweed and others, Ingersoll made most of the divisions. It is ex ceedingly important to procure positive testimony: as to those divisions. Ingersoll can do the work, He js reported to beatimid man and willing te give his accomplices away, as Garvey did.” “HOW a8 tO the Governor’s position in the mat ‘ter? “Well, as Governor Tilden seems somewhat reth cent to-day in giving nis reasons, 1 am of oplalon tbat a pertect understanding exis!s as to what Ingersoll is expected to prove. Civil suits ara now in course of preparation under laws recent! passed by the Legisiature intended to cover these very cases. Mr. Cuaries O’Conor and Mr. Wh-eler H.
