10 WILLEAM M. TWEED. NEW YORK HERALD, nn menses le a penance cl O LED LEILA THE BAR ASSOCIATION. IMPORTANT REPORT ON JUDICIARY REFORM— — Is He Trying to Effect a Compromise ? STILL) IN THE CITY. a ee A Consultation Between Connolly, Genet and the Ex-Boss, THURLOW WEED AGAIN SPEAKS. | ° The Tweed esatpe still cowtinues to absorb pubtic Attention Theomes are started hourly and are ax fre- quently discar@ed. None ef them seem to have enough of founiation to give them vitality or respect. Therefore the HERa.v'sy solutions of the problem as to how the ex-Boss fle remain, as before, the most sensible. The Sheriff and authorities generally are un- ring in their effortsfo'trace the fugitive, "but success ‘has not yet rewarded their endeavors. Secret as these must be, enough of them is known te ‘confirm the general impression/tat Pweed is not very far from this city, ifout of tatgall In the face of this, however, comes the information from Toronto, Ottawa, Mont- real aod other Camatian cities, that New York detectives ‘are scouring the Beminion in quest of the absentee, ‘Then, too, ali @orts of rumors are rife to the effect that he has been'seen in Brooklyn by one, is known to be elsewhere Uy another, and, finally, that he is ac- tually near by, in communication with the prosecu- Ucn, trying toreffect a compromise. Now, the fairest ‘deduction to “be drawn from all that was known or made public up to Inst night is that | Tweed bas not lett the country, aud | is really striving to obtain a satisfactory | Settlementof his suit. lM will be seen by the state- ment appended below that this 18 the opinion of Hon. Thurlow Weed, Further, it may be added in this-con- nection that there strong belief prevuiling among the best informed of both parties that Tweed is hidden in the same place which held | Genet secure from his pursuers for so long a time. Indeed it is hinted that not only is the Boss there now, but’ also that Genet and ‘Dick” Connolly are withhim, The last, \t is confidentially whispered, has returned to the city to arrange with the authorities ® plan for his own relicf. It issupposed, however, that the trio have-met there by appointment to consult and complete their plans for future emergencies. This is She jatest phase of the Tweed case, THURLOW WEED'S FURTHER VIEWS. Mr. Thurlow Weed last evening stated to a Hera reporter that he had during the day seen one of the gentlemen with whom he bad intended to converse concerning what he knew of the pecuharities of the Tweed case. But there were others present and be had not gone fully into the subject, Nevertheless, there were some things that might be said now, in ad- dition to whathe bad said on the previous evening, which might ‘tend to strengthen the belief of the Heap that Mr. Tweed had not gone from the country. With a view of directing the conversation directly toward the extent to which the negotiations with Tweed had progressed the reporter informed Mr, Weed | that in a conversation with Mr, Wheeler H. Peckham, associate counsel witn Mr, Charlies O’Conor, on the day when he went tw inform him of the escape of Tweed, that gentleman had said that Tweed’s escape was a very serious matter, for the reason that almost their only hops of getting any return from him for what be bad stolen from the city was through keeping him in prison, Mr. Weed asked concerning the particulars of the conversation with Mr. Peckham, and was informed that Mr. Peckham bad said the vast property of Tweed Bad been s0 skilfully transferred from his own con- trol the counsel for the people had 80 far found it impossible, through —_process of law, to lay ther hands on it, and that they had, therefore, rested their hope of recovery on their power to keep Tweed confined in jail until he should be forced to yield at least some portion of his ill-gotven gains, and that his escape would place him in amuch better position to retaim at least something of bis means tban he might bave been were he still in il. ur. Weed said:—‘‘In that declaration you have, through Mr, Peckham, covered nearly all of the diftl- culty in arriving at a satisfactory conclusion in the case of Tweed, And may say more, you have, inci- dentally, mentioned that ihe extent of ‘the sum which, it is believed, Mr. O'Conor had succeeded in securing Mr. Tweed’s agreement to refund to the city and county was $900,000, but that Mr. O’Conor did not think ‘hat sum sufficient and was joath to close the agreement, Where you gob your inforznation, whether from Mr. Peckbain or any other well mformed person, 1, ot course, do not know, but T cam say to you that 1 think it i as nearly accurate as any can be at this particular time. Let ine say also, and I think it will surprise many, that the sum indicated as that which Mr. Tweed was willing to refund to secure nis permanent release 18 only Waat Tweed could hope to realize upon his re- anaining property, enormous though it was presumed to be. i may say here that I went up to see Mr. O'Coner some little time ago, but ‘ound him im so critical @ candition that ‘could not consistently converse with him on any subject. However enormous Mr. Tweed’s 881008 may Lave been, estimated at the prices ho paid for what he had purchased, {t must be remembered that, im so far as bis real estate is concerned, he paid the Iugbest inflation-time prices for all of ‘it, and that Bimost ever since be held it real estate bas been de- chning in value. Some of 1t has gone down to a mere shadow of what rated as a fair valuation when Tweed became the possessor of it, Then, again, if it is not known, in connection with these negotiations, it ought to be, that in addition to the great deciine in the value Of bis real estaie, he had been forced to part with @ great deal of hie stock and other property at great Sacrifices A man situated like Tweed has been is not in a favorable position for realizing a tair price for what be places on the market. Therefore is it that I € hat $900,000 was all that he could refund. nig evening, a8 I did yesterday, that the right in assuming that Tweed has not left Y, and bas not, perhaps, gone far away; further, that it has been right again in assuming that Begotiations had Leen in progress prior to Tweed's es- ape. I can now simply repeat, in addition to what L have already stated, that | think the Herazp is mght in its conclusions as to the conditions surrounding the case of Tweed, and that so far as I may be able to add | to its information in that regard I shail be glad to do 30, I would have it clearly understood, however, that as to what may have been done in the case within tne | past few days I do not feel that I am as well informed.” | THE PROPOSED STATE ASSOCTATION. The Bar Association held its reguiar monthly meet- ing last evening at its new rooma, No. 7 Twenty-ninth Street, near Fifth avenue. Mr. William M. Evarts pre- sided, The reading of the mimutes disclosed the fact that the association now numbers 660 members. Nine- tecm were enrolled last evening, and a Committee ‘on Auditing and Nominations elected, Mr, George A. Yeaman read # long sud important report on tho various abuses prevailing in the Supreme and Supertor and other courts, and recommended a reorgan- ization of the judicial power of New York city and of the county. The paper drew attention to the practice existing In the civil and criminal courts, by which counsel arriving at Chambers a few moments late, and just after the calling of the calendar has been com- menced, are obliged to hand ap their papers with @ possibility of their being looked over in the evening and this without argument. These delays he held could be easily done away with, and he counselled a radical reform, They might find aremedy im legislative action, but they must go down deeper to have anything like true and thorough relief. The com- mittee submitted a plan to accomplish the ends in view, to this effect: — The consolidation of Supreme, Superior, Common Pleas and Marine courts !nto one judicial tribunal, com- Dining all the jurisdictions ‘bose courts now have, or the same tn effect; the reorganization of the first de- partment of the Supreme Cvurt, dispensing with the others and increasing the number, if becessary, of the district courts, No judges need be displaced or their terms shortened. Also let one, or, if necessary, two judges hold chai bers for ex parte motions and orders, 80 a8 to have @ judge always available for that purpose; and let one, ‘and, if necessary, two judges hold chambers for enumer- ated motions, and let these motions go on as rapidly as they can. Let one judge constantly hold a part or trial term for the disposition of short causes to secure the earlier trial of such actions and to avoid interruptions of other trials now sometimes occasioned by the monthly Friday’s short cause calendars. The report went on to state that it was not within the wer of the Legislature to abolish any of these courts or to limit its jurisdiction or to vest it, either wholly or in part, ia Oue of the other courts, IMPORTANT AMENDMENT. They recommend an amendment to the State consti tution. to this effect :-—That the Court of Common Pleas for thé city and county of New York and the Superior Court of the city of New York shall cease to exist, and all the jurisdiction of said courts shall rest in and all the judges of said courts then In office shall become justices of the Supreme Court, and any judicial power in civil and criminal cases, and any judicial power as county judge and other special authority and jurisdiction now vested in any or either of the judges ot either of saia courts shal! vest in the justices of the Supreme Court for the First Department, to be exercised in such manner and under such Hmitations as the Legislature shall prescribe or so long as the Legislature shall not have acted, namely, in such manner and un- der such limitations and regulations as the general term for such First Department may from time to time rescribe, and thereupon the judges so transferred shall Boia their places for the remainder of their respective terms for which they shall haye been chosen or ap- pointed; and ail suits, actions, appeals, motions and proceedings then ‘pending in the courts so abolished shall be and become immediately trans- ferred to the Supreme Court for the First Department without projudice to any undertaking, bond, pleading, deposition or other entry or pro: ceeding previously had therein; and thereafter there shall be twenty-one justices of the Supremo Court for the First Department, which’ shall consist of the city and county of New York, chosen or appointed, as provided by the constitution of this State, and the salaries of all the said justices, except five, shall be rovided for and paid by the city of New york; the General Term of the First Department shall hereafter consist. of five Justices, three of whom sball constitute a quorum, all of whom shall be designated in the manner in which General Term justices are now, or shall hereafter be, authorized by Jaw to be designated. The question of the report was made a subject for an adjourned meeting. A STATE BAR ASSOCIATION, The committee appointed at the October meeting to investigate the desirability of forming an association of the Bar of the State of New York reported that they senta circular containing sixteen questions to upward of 1,300 lawyers in the State of New York, and that the responses were overwhelmingly in favor of the estab- lishment of such an association, The committeo offered the following resolution :— Resolved, That the Bar Association of the city of New York will extend an invitation to tawyers rest- dentin the several judicial districts of the State to meet at come place most convenient within such dis- tricts, then and there to select twenty of their number as delegates from such several districts to a convention to be charged with the organization of a State Bar asso- ciation, and that this association will at the proper time designate twenty delegates to represent this Judicial district in the said convention. The report was accepted and the resolution laid on the table, and, after some discussion, the meeting ad- Journed. THE WRITINGS OF THOMAS CARLYLE. Professor Nathan Sheppard delivered the last of his course of lectures last evening toa larger audience than ‘any of the previous ones, having for his subject “The Writings of Thomas Carlyle.’ These lectures on mod- ern authors are quite remarkable for analytical skill, and are destined to make a lively and beneficent sen- sation in the literary world, The speaker began:—i have the honor of reading a lecture on the writings of Thomas Carlyle, the greatest intellectual force in our time—a giant with the pen, a dramatist and thinker of transcendent power. We can understand hia art only by classifying bim as A DRAMATIC THINKER, Carlyle talks well against talking, and if he had taken his own advice we would never have had a word from him; but be is the chief of talkers. Cariyle is the personification ofa Briton who is constitutionally » growler. This man, who is now in the eightieth year of his discontent, is the safety pipe of our human dis- centent; this tempestuous spokesman utters our minds as well as our thoughts. Carlyle denounces this age as nly be can for its brazenness and sham. We cannot look to Carlyle for colorless bistory ; let us dismiss him | as historian, that we may enjoy him asa dramatic | thinker of all times. The mission of this man is to do for thought what the quarryman does to the rock—di it ont, blastit out and make it manageable, We should i look into the mind of THIS GIANT GREAT BRAIN. “Look into the crater we must that we may see what the voleanocontains. Carlyie talks to bimself in name— everywhere he is our interpreter. He says in his ‘His. tory of the French Revolution” that {t is unfortunate that the history of this period is so generaily written in hysterics, whereupon he proceeds to write the his tory in hysterics, Carlyle is a marked example of a vriter impatient to write out his own ideas. He de- cribes his countrymen a8 swine, digging and rooting their way along; but be does so much grunting himself | that he has earned the foremost piace in the ranks. | (Laughter). He writes and raves at bis best when DEFRAUDING THE REVENUE. | It was reported yesterday evening that officers of Colonel F. BE. Howe, Special Treasury Agent, had made | a seizure of traadulently imported millinery goods at » lashionable modiate’s in Washington place. The goods said Lo consist principally of velvets of the tinest quality, TAXATION OF CHURCH PROPERTY, ‘The adoption of the constitutional amendment in New Jersey, which imposes taxation on church property, ig creating a stir among the clergymen of all denomi- Bations, An effort is being made to bring them intoa | vention to discuss the situation, The burden presses vily on all the eburches, and it is hoped that by tion the Legislature may be induced to grant fome relict by passing a measure which will, at all events, exempt church buildings throughout the State, Av Episcopal clergyman in Jersey City told a Heat reporter yesterday that if something be not done sev- {the churches will bave to ve closed, rng,” he added, “in the future churches, ‘I @ spoken with the ing near me, and be feels just as I do on the subject,” | THE TWO CABLE COMPANIES, New Yore, Dec. 12, 1875, fo rue Lovron of tHe Henatp:— J saw your editerial on the “Direct’’ cable in yester- day's Hexsin, 1 don't think the “rival” company have hired a brigade of ‘devil fish’ to bite the “Pirect’s’’ cable, but a brigade of ‘human devils” may ave done it You wil remember that several meet inge of both cable companies have taken place in Lon- den recently, the old company wishing to advance the tates, while the ‘Direct’ refused; it was asiso veunced that ali words coptasaing more than ten letters double.

We feel maniier for reading him, and, unlike the satirist proper, this man's contempt does not wither, but infuses new life; no discouragement; he is amoral tonic, He makes you | feel started; then somehow, afterward, you feel as though you 'were running down, and then stop, and you stay stopped till yon go back to Carlyle, I close with his reverence, He is the soul of rever- ence when he touches the divine. In spite of mis dis- coptent with the present, he has faith in the future. DR. FULTON FRIENDS. ORGANIZATION OF A CENTENNIAL BaprisT CHURCH IN BROOKLYN. The triends of Rev.

M. and continued for three hours and a half, The questions under con. sideration were therefore thoroughly ventilated. Chief among these was the subject of representation in the Gen- eral Committee. The opinions regarding the adjustment of a question so important to the welfare of the demo- cratic party were very conflicting. Various views were submitted and canvassed, and finally the plan of repre- sentation already talked of, or rather hinted at outside, came before the meeting on @ regular mo- tion, This provides for a great increase in the membership of the General Committee, being one member for every 100 votes cast for Gover- nor Tilden, After a good deal of debate this motion was formally adopted by the committee. The adoption of this plan of reorganization will necessarily bring about an entire change in the character of the General Committee The purpose of {t is to gather into the fold of the General Committee as many as may be practicable of the good democrats who believe in the advantages of a regular organization and to give them a voice in its councils. It is, no doubt, also a concession to the people who struck such a tell- ing blow at one man power in the laie election. The plan 1s the result of mature deliberation, and in its exe- cution it is hoped that the anti-Tammany body will be decimated by the absorption into the new committee of many of its active workers. But it is recol- lected ‘by many to whom the bait will doubt- less be held ont that the larger tho central body is made the less Influential in council becomes each individual member. While the secret body is maintained, too, it 1s feared that the big Gen- eral Committee will be used as a sort of blind to carry out the behests of the dark lantern lodge entitled the Tammany Society. It is said in this connection, how- ever, that the secrecy is soon to be done away with, but that is to be determined hereafter. The new General Committee under this rule will number 875 members. A republican politician who beard of the new plan last evening suggested that it John Kelly con- | tinued to preside over the deliberations of so large a number at least three committees on discipline would be necessary to keep the General Committee in order, Another meeting of the Committee on Organization will, it ts said, be held on Saturday, and on Monday the General Committee wi!l issue a call for primaries, at which are to be chosen the sew members of Tammany’s General Committee. SECRECY IN TAMMANY, Hon. Henry L. Chnton has addressed a long letter to the Herarn on the subject of the proposed change in the constitution and bylaws of the Tammany Society or Columbian Order abolishing the secret feature of its proceedings. His letter mainly furnishes the reason why he who denounced the organization in 1870 and 1871 as viciously striving to confol local and State poli- tics and urged 1ts suppression as a dangerous enemy to the public weal, while be now appears as one of its members moving an amendment to its rules of proce- dure. He states in vigorous language that though the society always had members who were not democrats, it was in 1870 under the control of the *‘ Ring.’ Tweed was Grand Sachem, Connolly and Sweeny Sachems, and the Couneil of Sachems beld a large majority of their adherents, Since 1872, with its crushing reverses for the Ring, Tammany Society, whose Sacheme in 1870 claimed the right to determine the personnel of the Democratic Gen- eral Committee, has been reformed. Now Mr. Clinton says, and the society adopts bis language ina preambie, that Tammany society ‘takes ana has for years taken no action whatever in regard to political affairs, and calling him | o the pastorate. There were present the former | members of the disbanded Adelphi street and Clinton avenue churches, and the members who seceded from nson place church when Dr. Fulton resigned, After a brief address by Dr. Fulton, Mr. Loud was ed chairman, and The “New Hampshire Confession” was adopted as the creed of the church.

General | committees were appointed, a collection was taken and the meeting closed with the hymn ‘Hold the Fort.” Nearly 100 members of the Hanson place church have announced their intention to withdraw at the ext business meeting. ~~ OBITUARY.
