WASHINGTON. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, May 16, 1876. AN ADDITIONAL CALL FOR FIVE-TWENTY BONDB— SUCCESS OF THE WEW SYNDICATE—THE IN- CREASED PERCBNTAGE ALLOWED. The Secretary of the Treasury on Saturday issued an additional call for United States five- twenty bonds, upon which the tnterest will cease July 15. These bonds are for the use of the Syn- dicate. This makes a cail of $10,000,000 of bonds in excess of the last contract witn the Syndicate, which was only for $26,000,000. They have, how- ever, the option of taking the entire remamder of the new fives. That option exptres six months from Febraary 1. The recent success of the Syn- dicate in negotiaving the loan is attributaple to two canses—frst, the improved condition of the European money market, and second, the in- creased percentage which ts allowed the Syndl- cate under the new contract. When the first optional contract was given to the Rothschild Svndtcate the Secretary of the Treasury agreed to allow one-quarter of one per cent for the nego- tiation of the bonds, and the Syndicate was to pay all the expenses of the negotiations. This was one-quarter of one per cent less than haa been allowed to the Boutwell-Richardson Syndi- cate, and was only haifof the maximum allowea by the law. The Rothsonilds, alter the expiration of their first experimental contract, discovered that Ley could make no profits at one-quarter of one per cent commission, and insisted that the rate should be increased to the legal maximum. This was done, but it has not hitherto been known ‘that wnen the new contract was made on Feb- ruary 1 the rate of commission had donbled, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. WASHINGTON, May 16, 1875.

TWEED STATESMANSHIP TO THE FRONT. The Rapid Transit Bill of Governor Tilden Before the House, ALBANY, May 16, 1875. I¢is now positively understood that we are in the last week of the session. We may adjourn, sine die, on Wednesday, but itis doubtful, I the statesmen will only attend strictiy to business, without the usual clap-trap of buncombe reform speeches, nothing can detain us beyond that time, Let these gentlemen make up their minds to the fact that the “reform dodge,’’ to use a legislative expression, 1s “played out.” Making peculiar com- binations at nignt and spread-eagie speeches by day in the interest of “honest government’ will not any longer throw dust in the eyes of constitu- ents, L would, therefore, caution the gentlemen here who have taken the money of the lobby, that Governor Tilden’s Oivil Remedy bills are in full force.

Then it was rumored that proper amendments were to be made, and that the political millennium had arrived, New York members of assembly and Senators told me Tammany Hall was crumbling to pieces, and something should be done to save the democratic party, as represented by this despotic organization. Initiatory steps were taken to pass laws by which the people would have something to say relative ¢o local affairs in the metropolis.

THE MINERS’ STRIKE PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY RESUMPTION OF WORK—GBAND ANNIVERSARY DEMONSTRATION BY THE MINERS—EMPLOYEES OF INDIVIDUAL OPERATORS UNDISTURBED IN THEIR LABOR. WILKESBARRE, Pa,, May 16, 1875, The clouds of suspense appear to be breaking away rapidly, and through the rifts we catch glimpses of the sun of better days. The indica- tions at the Emptre Mines, near this city, the largest and most important of the collieries owned by the Lehigh and Wukesbarre Coal Company in this section, favor the impression that work will be resumed there before many Gays, most likely in the course of the coming week, Mr. Parrish has given orders to set the fans ruaning to-morrow, and ag there would be no onject in clearing the mines of foul air uniess the miners had about con- cluded to resume iabor, the action of Mr. Parrish is deemed significant of some important movement on the part of the company and its employés. It 1s believed, tn fact confidently asserted, that the men have con- sented to return to their chambers under protest, aa the Hyde Park men are working, and will wait Until @ more convenient time to renew their strug- gie with the combination of coal operators. The peace can hardly be considered permanent unless the company makes some concession; but the fact that work is to be soon resumed gives a@ thrill of Satisfaction to all classes of this business-paralyzed community, The miners are to have A GRAND DEMONSTRATION and general waik around of the Kingston, Ply- mouth, Nanticoke, Warrior Ran, Ashley and Wilkesbarre branches oi the Miners’?

BESULTS OF THE VISIT TO TENNESSEE—WHAT THE PEOPLE REGARD AS “RED TAPEISM”— HAD THE TRIP A POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE? NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 10, 1875. Vice President Wilson was much more cordially Tecetved in Tennessee than he anticipated. Indeed he was astonished at the warm hearted manner in which hospitalities were constantly showa him. He would have received still greater attention had tt not ceen for the greas formality of introducing one’s self into his presence, or, as Tennesseeans call it, the “red tapeism” of presenting cards as his door. They have beretofore, and I doubtif they can ever accustom themselves to any other iaea, found the jaten string, in’ its real signif- cance, always hanging outside the dour of every public man, and, as for that matter, of every other person, One great secret of the throngs of visitors that daily and hourly paid coart to Sena- tor Audrew Jonnson was this very fact.

Maloney, who arrested Stephen Boyle, alias Zugene Francis, alias Edward Barrett, one of the five convicts who escaped from Sing Sing Prison a few days ago. Sergeant Maloney, it may be remembered, was promoted to sergeant from roundsman jor the bravery he displayed in capturing this notorious murderer and burglar. The following is the Sergeant’s statement :— Boyle was born in the Fourteeath wara, and bis father, now dead, was on the old potice force for a few months, Steve attended the Thirteenth street Public school, and was thought a brightlad. He Grifted into the company of thieves when about sixteen years old, and commenced till-tapping. He is now thirty-four years of age. In 1861 Boyle Joined what was cnown as the Nineteenth street gang, which inciuded the brothers Mundey— Jimmy, Pete and Cnarley—Daniel Vonnelty, alias “Straight-back” Dan, Jimmy Price and his brotuer Tommy, Who was usually known as ‘*Deafy” Price, Boyle associated principally with Steve Darrow and Jimmy Devine, tne latter a noted panel thief, In August, 1885, Joon Ward, one of the gang, murdered Policeman Walker, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, and was sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment, and he is still serv- ing out his time. Boyle then joined the Eighth ward thieves Known as ‘‘Whitey’’ Bob’s gang, and he was also often seen with Dan Nobile, the noted bank robber. During the war he was a substitute broker, and made a great deal of money by boauty jumping, He used to frequent Whitey Bov's thieves hotel and gambling house in Prince street. Alter the war he lost hes Jortane of about $10,000 in playing faro. He thea became a pickpocket on the Street cars, working with Dealy Price, Tommy Mundey, Johnny the Greek, Bob Smith anda other well known “knucks,? to us@ & police expression, He had not been thus long engaged when he was arrested by Detective J seph O’Keele for picking pockets, he being caught tn the act of stealing a goid watch atthe Thirtieth street depot. He was brought be- fore Recorder Hackett and sentenced to two years and six months’ imprisonment at Siag Bing. After serving a few months he escaped from that prison and went out to Kalamazoo, Mich., with Steve Darrow, where they were arrested for committing a burgiary on a bank in that city, They were detected in the crime by @ citizen hearing the sound ofa siedge- bammer in the bank Vault. He instantly gave the | alarm, and the citizens turned oul, sarrounded the bank and secured the burglars. Whtie await- ingtrialin jailsome outside coniederates, sup. posed to be New Yorkers, passed to the two mea Jimmies and other tools, with which Beyie escaped. Sheri! Alcott eucountered Boyle wiiile m the act of breaking jail, aud was shot dead by the prisoner. He then took the keys from | the body of the dead Sherif, and let bimael! out, He was dressed in citizea’sgjounes and made good | bis escape, coming to N ork, and associated th Goodridge, also Buly i itt, a sueak thier, | lerward served outa term in Sing Sing | 8 Meanwhile the authorities of Kalamazvo offered @ reward of $2,000 for the recapture and return of Boyle to them. The firet ‘heav. job” he did after his return to New Yor in 1868, when he ssaulted a broker | ed Waterhouse, in Third street, near Second avenue, from whom he took @ vailse contu:ming $5,000, Boyie threw red pepper inte his eyes aud strack bim with brass knuckles. Ho hud two con- Jederates awaitiag him i a cart, with a quick trot- ting horse. They all made tneir escape. His next big “operation’’ was to take irom the principal of & public Scaool the salaries of ail the teachers in that scnool for the month. It amounted to over $3,000. He escaped, as usual, and is name began tobe celebrated. We had not yet got his picture in the Rogues’ Gallery, | SERGEANT MALONBY ARRESTS TIM, | On the Sth of Feoruary, 1809, witle I was patrol- | ling the Bowery, {noticed a horse and butcher's cart standing in the middie of the street, and | iso noticed that the driver was acting in @ sus- picious manner. 1 went a little farther down the Bowery, and when I came to Squires’ jeweiry store, near Spring street, I saw Boyie and anotoer | man standing by the curbstone.
