GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, WAsHincton, Sept. 9, 1876 THE QUESTION OF SENDING FEDERAL PRISON- ERS TO JAILS IN OTHER STATES THAN WHERE THEY ABE TRIED. Some days since several parties who wore confined in the Penitentiary of West Virginia, at Moundsvillo, under sentence of the United States Circutt Court for Louisiana in whis- Key cases, applied to Chief gustice Waite, of the Supreme Court, tor writs of habeas corpus During the present week the application bas been denied, The point made by the prisoners— Henderson, Kansterdick and others—was that they could not be confined in an institu. tion where hard labor is a part of the discipline under a sentence of imprisonment for more than twelve months, at all events that whereas they had been tried in Louisiana, they could not be so con- fined in West Virginia. They insisted that where the specific punishment awarded under any section of the Revised Statutes Is only imprisonment (omitting hard labor) for more than twelve months, sach confinement must be im a jail and not in a penitentiary. The Chief Justice filed an elaborate opinion, con- sidering herein especially sections 5,541 and 5,546 (amended at the Jate session of Congress) in con- nection with section 5,440, under whith ten prisoners ‘were convicted, and, as has been said, rendered judgment denying the application. The case is regarded as of considerable public imterest in connection with the practice of sending federal prisoners for confinement to jails and penitentiaries in States other than that in which they wore tried, The couuse! for the applicants contemplate an appeal to the Supreme Court, DISTRESSING ACCIDENT, THREE MEN KILLED AT A HAYES AND WHERLER POLE RAISING, Laxcaster, Ohio, Sept 9, 1876. ‘This city is enshrouded in gloom this evening in con- sequence of a terrible accident, which has resulted in the death of Mr. Charley Drinkle, George Fink and Charicy Huffman, at the Hayes and Weceler polo rais- img at the foot of Broadway.

THE ARREST. The Governor was accompanied by some of the secret police and inquired for two of the passengers. He ordered their detention, and having consulted some photographs arrested them. TO BE SENT TO HAVANA. Escorted by a detachment of police, the prisoners were sent to Corunna, whence they will be trans- ferred to Havana on the Spanish mail steamer leay- ing on the 21st.

It ig believed here that the two prisoners are William M. Tweed and his secretary. FURTHER DETAILS—THE FUGITIVE DISCOVERED IN CUBA AND FLIES TO BPAIN. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. } MADRID, Sept. 9, 1876. It was found in July last that Tweed was in San- tiago de Cuba, having passed there from Havana. GENERAL JOVELLAR APPLIED TO. General Jovellar was applied to by the American Consul to have Tweed secured and sent to the United States, WILLING TO GIVE HIM UP. General Joveilar was quite willing, even in the ab- sence of an extradition treaty, to oblige the Ameri- can government in return for their courtesy in the Arguelles case some years ago. TWEED SAILS FOR VIGO. Tweed, however, was apprised in Santiago of his impending danger and sailed for Vigo, Spain, on July 27 on board the sailing vessel Carmen. THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT WILLING. Mr. Cushing thereupon notified the Spanish gov- ernment of the fact and found them willing to arrest Tweed and return him to Cuba or deliver him up to the American Consul, PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ESCAPE. Every precaution was taken by the Spanish gov- ernment to secure Tweed’s arrest in any port of Spain or on any coast line by which he might arrive. Severe orders were given to the local authorities, especially those of Vigo and the Galician coast. THE CARMEN BOARDED. On September 6, after a long passage of forty-one days, the Carmen hove in sight off Vigo and was im- mediately boarded by the Governor of Pontevedra. RECOGNIZED FROM PHOTOGRAPHS. The Governor at once recognized Tweed from photographs which he had had in his possession for some time previous to the arrivai of the fugitive. TUS ASSUMED NAME. ‘Tweed was entered on the ship’s papers under the Dame of Secor, and was accompanied by a man giv- ing his name as William Hunt, who is said to be his nephew. LODGED IN A FORTRESS, Both were immediately secured and thrown into the Calabozo, under a strong guard, but were sub- sequently transferred by orderto a fortress in Vigo under the command of the Captain General. WHAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT KNOWS OF THE ARREST. Wasuistos, Sept. 9, 1876. Careful inquiry at the Stato Department has failed to elicit any confirmation of the reported arrest of Tweed, and has likewiso tailed to develop that the State De. partment has any such information in its possession, THE FEKLING ABOUT TWEED IN NEW YORK— DOUBTS AND FEARS AND BITTER TEARS FOR THE ‘‘poss.” Twenty thousand people who imagine that they know all about the whereabouts of William M. Tweed looked wise yesterday and told 20,000 other persona, who professed to know nothing of Tweed or when he should come home, hinge there would bea ‘big devel- opment in a few day The despatch in yesterday morning's Heratp to the effect that Tweed had been captured at Vigo, in Spain, was tho cause ol conversation and remark im many places, A few of the deep thinking repubtican leaders did not like the news of the arrest, yet they could not disagree with the lightning words of the cable. Mr. ward Van Schaick, a brother of Jenkins Van Schaick, who is said to be the candidate for the anti, Tammany and republieam nominations for Mayor, faid:— “If this man Tweed {sin Spain ana in the lock-up, my opinion is that he may hare had some trouble about his trunks or something of that kind, and the Spaniards aro simply holding him as a matter of busi- ness, Of conrse it is hard to tell whether Governor Tilden has had him arrested or not. I don’t see why Mr. #ish should have the old fellow locked up.’? THROUGH A TKLESCOFR. Agentleman who has the honor of sitting three evenings in the weok with Mr. John Kelly aud listening to his dulect views on local and national politica, and who has a habit of arranging his 1849 shirt collar while studying @ ‘‘middiing well done” veal cutlet, expressed bimeolf im this way:— “This is a Oght between Grant and Haves and Conk- ling and Fenton, Talk about any trouble at saratoga, why I tel! you that they are bilin’ over the two factions. 1 belicve that Grant has engineered this thing of getting Tweed arrested, Grant has a secret king for the old man Tweed, but he dare not show i* or express his views. Mr. Fish is onthe very best torms with the Spanish government, and jt !s my opin- jon that ho has had Tweed arrested special favor tohim. He delayed the ganboats, and the Spaniards are good to their friends, I think that Grant hates Hayes and Tildeom 80 bitterly = that he is Willing to involve them both In an ewint row by bringing Bill Tweed home, When he comes home he will come home without a dojlar, and his own friends in New York city, who have been vory bitter, will gently drop him, even if the election be near at the time.”” An official connected with the United States District Attorney's office said :— “Tweed is as poor as @ charch mouse and I don't beliove that he can pay bis passage home, The detec- tives will bave to pay it for him. One lawyer atone BOL $136,100 trom him and Tweed owes him still $45,000, according to agreement That lawyer will never et his $45,000 tm this world. Tweed’s coal stocks settled that fact, The woodbine ‘wined them up in a nice way, And that is the Teason Tweed will not come home uniess thoy have the olppers on him. He has more to fear from bis frends when he getsto New York than he emies, Some of bis friends arein & nd they don’t know what to do; but if the ‘ola man’ shoula come home and goto prison their idea 18 that Tweed would be more communicative than be bas been in the past three years, and that Tweed would be likely to offer some private letters for pub- Neation. " A democrat of » very shrewd type, who practises law tm the Tombs Police Court, gave his views im a Pugnacious way. He cald be whole thing is @ republican trick, and intended to do harm to the dem- Seratic candidate, Tilden, Tweed’s gang of thieves and robbers hate Tilden because of his ciphering in the Broadway Bank. They will make any deal in the world to best Tilden—State, municipal or national They are making deais now 10 provide for his arrival, and the whole business 1s fo thin hata feather would go through 1, The administra- tion bas had Tweed arrested at Tweod's requost, and be will come home and teli a wholo jot of ghost stories about Tilden and Kelly, and he will be imprisoned dur- Ing tho day, State officials will take hit at night to the house of the “old gang” to hear what 1s to be done, and somewhere in November it will be found that Tweed has suffered enough, and then he will be nom- inated on a repnbitcan ticket at Greenwich, Conn., for County Treasurer, TWEED'S PROPERTY. Under Sheriff Cuming says that hw expects Sheriff Conner will Mlo the return to the execution aguinst William \, Tweed's property in the County Clerk's office in the early partof this week; that the impor co of the work has necessitated a groat deal of timo and caro tn the preparation, and that the return will covsr the whole ground in reference to the property against which the execution was issued, COTTON CROP REPORT.

Prstapeirnza, Sept 9% 1 Ever sinco the opening of the Exhibition the streets bordering fthe Centennial grounds, especially tho Vicinity of Elm avenue, where the principal entrances aro have been infested by numberless frame structures, beer saloons and side shows These buildings. of the rudest possible construction, bave harbored the learned pig, the fat woman, cheap lodging houses, con- cort and beer saloons, shooting galleries and other par- agites of the Exhibition, Hundreds of these unsightly structures have encroached upun the gates of the Cen- tennial grounds, crowded closely together. The new town has been called Shantyville, ita buildings are insured, agents having refused to ta risks on account of their tnflainmabie nature. Their presence,so near the Exhibition baiidings has always been regarded as extremeiy dangerous, as in case of fire and the wind in the wrong direction the Exhibition | buildings would be likeiy to be destroyed, with their priceless contents. What has long been feared took place this afternoon. About five o'clock THE CRY OF FIRK was beard, and volumes of smoke and flames were seen rising from the midst of these structures im Elm avenue, between Tischner and Belmont. tn an incredibly short space of timo an aroa of two acres was covered by roaring, crackling flames, and the streets were speedily filled with 100,000 people from tho Exhibition and the hotels, Atthe Globe and Transcontinental, the first Just opposite the fire, the second immediately adjoin- ing, the greatest consternation prevailed among the guests and a rash was made for the streets, many hur- riedly grabbing up their baggage. The firemen were speedily on the grounds and did everything possible to limit the flames to the triangular block of ground be- tween Elin and Belmont avenues and Tischner ave- Duo, for it was utterly impossible to save oven as mach Asastick of furniture in any shanty near where the flames first broke out, In many cases even the occu- pants had barely time to escape the flames, and sev- eral were singed and slighty burned, THR MOST EXCITING RUMORS were prevalent as to the persons sald to be in tho burning buildings, but no one is known to have perished, Several horses, pigs, two sea cows, and other an‘mals in the side shows were burned to death, The Exhibition grounds were more crowded than ever before, and much alarm was created when the gates were cloxed and no one allowed to comoout, Tho doors of the different buitding? were also closed and guarded for about twenty minutes, aad no one atlowed to leave; the authorities at first believing that thieves had started the flames for the purpose of plucdering in the excitement, Fortunately tho wind was not trom the south, and the Exhibition was saved, Hsd it been strong southerly wind there would have been great danger of the fire reaching across the street to the Exhibition, and be- coming the most disastrous conflagration of the cen- tory. As it Js, it was a narrow escape, and should warn the city authorities not to allow tho devastated district to bo again covered with irame buildings in violation of the law, The fire broke out in the oyster | | ready at lowest prices. satoon of John Murphy while he was lighting a kero- sene lamp; carelessness suggested to be the cause. But the man has been arrested, and the Fire Marshal will investigate, Among other PLACES DESTROYED wore Underhill’s saloon, Shatzer Ball, Hepper’s res- taurant, where tho loss ts $2,200; Eshambacher & Kran’s beer saloon, the Ross house restaurants, the Star and New England lodging houses, Blanketle’s Theatre, Crawford’s cigar and eating houses, Allen’s pig show and several other similar establishments, About three acres of ground were burned over in about ahalf hour's time. Itis impossible to givea near estimate of the losses, but they will probably not exceed $25,000 altogether. At one time the Transcontinental Hotel was in grest danger, and tho fire swept up to within thirty feet of it. The police arrangements for controlling the great crowds which filled the streets and preventing the depredations of thieves were under Captam Ioins and were admirable, POLO PLAYING. FOUR GAMES RAPIDLY DISPOSED, OF—cooL WEATHER AND SPIRITED SPORT—A JUVENILE LACROSSE CLUB ORGANIZED. Newrort, R. L, Sept. 9, 1876, Four games ot polo wero played this afternoon, the sides being:—Reds—C. IH. Ridgeway, Augustus Jay, 8. H, Robbins, George R. Fearing and James Wadsworth, anew player. Blues—G. W. Thorno, Harry Oolrichs, Jamex G. Bennett, Fairman Rogers and F.
