WILLIAM M. TWEED. What the Politicians Say About the Ex-Boss. REPAIRING HIS CELL. Interviews with Assemblymen, Aldermen and Others. ‘The stirring tale of the wanderings and adventures of William M. Tweed, pu in yesterday's Herat was read with absorb'ny by the politicians, Te them Tweed is sti! cnemory, andthe spell of bis power, thoi u and shivered forever, is Rot altogether forgoticn. Tuat werent of his sitting on the rock by the sad and silent waves of the lonely Caribbean sea made a deep impression on the minas of those who remembered and knew him im the days | she torent of his glory, whenever a irendly nod of his head had the effect of sending a thril of | joy to the heart of . um aspiring local | politician, The general feeling, it must be said, was one of pity for the degraded and hunted down chief. tam. It might be analyzed as a setitiment expressing | wheartfelt conviction that this whilom leader of the New York emocrncy had suffered enough for his sins 4 that broken by adversity and age and having sufficiently, in bis own person, tilustrated that | prosperous wickedness carries with it its own retribu- Von, he might be allowed to slide down to his grave without further prosecution. THK FEBLING ABOUT TWKED. A Henatp reparter inquired tho state of feeling among a number of local politicians last evening iv re. gard to Twood and the story of his singular adventures, Colonel James Kerrigan, prospective candidate on the greenback ticket for Congre: aid :—"l think ‘Tweed has been brought back through a combination Of capitalisis—Astor, Vanderbilt and others—to settle Wexed questions in real estate, of which he owned a great deal; but it is so involved—in other words, titles are so mixed that none but Tweed himself could set matters right. I don’t believe his return will, as some people apprehend, have any effect on the canvass. He can have nothing to say that will hurt the democratic canvass, because I should imagine if be had he missed bis opportunity, or his lawyers missed it, when they baa Tildon on the stand. No, I gness Twoed is more of a bugbear than anything else.” Jobn J, O’Brien, the cherub of the Custom House, whoso infantile hands have been ere now imbrued in Politics, put on a look of wisdom and, winking his left eye, said, ‘Tweed will squeal on Sammy, and | guess ‘he democrats would just as soon he stayed in Spain or Cuba.” . alderman Jacob Hess, whose republican mind lets in the light of democratic truth like a plate glass win dow, ani ‘1 don’t believe Tweed has got anything to tell that will affect either party. I bave. spoken to politicians of both sides, Of course, as a republican, I should like to hear him come out‘on Tilden, but I am satisfied he has nothing to say against him that has mot been said already.” Matt Patten, ex-Deputy Sheriff, ex-Assemblyman, exalter, exemplifier and Sardanapalus of Tammany Hall, Jaid aside bis Ailty cept regalia cigar, drew off tho ruaset colored kid glove that enveloped his right hand tnd, giving a graceful twirl to his amber-shaded mus- ache, discoursed thu “Il read the entertaining ac- tount of the old man’s meanderings in the HEeRaLp \nis morning, and 1 wondered to myself it they would not let up om him now. I think it 1s about time. I bxpect some of the fellows around here don’t half care to see him come back. Well, I tell you what it is, there ain’s suy man that’s more opposed than I am to such kind of trangartions as were carried on by the Tammany Ring, but I'd like to see jnstice dealt out all round; even Tweed is the only mon that bis suffered others who got off y that (ihe dia if they only got the chance ex-Aseemblyman, he of the bright blonde side whiskers, the rolling blue eyes and the dis- Astrous measure of ‘‘No seat, no fare,’ spoke up and “{ don’t think the republican’ party wil find Inuch comlort irom Tweed, 11 the old man cared to talk he could rake in as many of the one side as the other, They ought to sing small when they talk of Bull Twoed’s blowing on Tilden or apy other democrat, They are juss as Coep in the mu emselves, and they know it’ Joe Fallon, the young and aspiring leader af the why centre wing of the Harlem democracy, said Bows is coming home at last.

Among the many orders avd congregations of the Catholic Church there is none whose dress is more a tractive than that worn by the ‘Sisters of our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd.’ Several times a year the Heratp records the reception of this peculiar habit by numerous young ladics who a spire to the life of a retigicuse, Yesterday four young ladies prosented themselycs before the altar of the Convent Chapel, and in answer to Father Durthaler’s questions begged to be clothed in the white serge babit which Father Eudes tirss de- signed for his spiritual daughters more than 200 years ago. Ag is the custom of the reception of the religious habit, the young ladies first entered the Chapdl wi Ing white cashmere dresses adorned with satin ruch- ings, with long illusion veils, surmounted by wreaths of orange buds and blossoms, falling in sofly undulating folds to their feet, which were en: cased m white shoes, the gloves also being white, The Prioress and he jant remained near them until the priest had given to each one a lighted candle as a symbol of the light to which God calls the ro Ngtous soul from the darkness of the world. He then prayed God to shed His light upon each one and en- ablo hor to see what 1s pleasing to Him, so that she may serve Him with fidelity. The postulanta were then seated while Father Darthaler explained in his discourse the significance of the dress they were about to discard and the character of the ono they were to receive, The bridal dress denoted the world they were about to resign, and the postulate of the past six months had been a preparation for this d: during that time they were to consider their d: HOD to receive and wear tho robe of religion, which is also white, but of an unchanging fashion, and exemplifies the purity of beart which God requires of those who aspire to lead souls to Him, and who must, by example well as cept, inspire this virtue in the rts of others, He told them they wero still free to choose which garments they preferred, but should shey select the re'igious dress let them only aspire for the two years of (heir novitiate to wear it worthily. Woheo the choir had finished the singing of the *Vent Creator” the postulants knelt before the altar grating and answered the questions put to them by the priest. They then retired from the chapel while the priest vlessed the babit, that they who wear it may deserve to be clothed in beaven with the procious garment of itumortanty; the veil that it may turn away the eyes ot the wearor from and shut the entrance of her beart to the vanities of tho world; while ten choir of sisters jung the Psalm,’ “How Lovely e Thy Tabernacles, Lord of Hosts.’ The four candidates returned as the chorr concludea the im, cach one ¢elothed in robe, witl the’ blue cord and tassels at the de; a plain white hnen band re- the orang flower wreath and a linen clo eup- ed the place of the illusion veil.

The choir con- tinued, “Whom [ have known, whom I have loved,'in whom I have betieved and to whom I have consecrated mysell.’? The candidates replied, ‘1 have chosen to bo the last intne house ot our Lord Jesus Christ;” when they knelt and while the priest blesxed them, saying, ‘May the Lord keep thy wees in mt th going out, from hencelorth, now at Eacl one then received the scapular, an io rot iad amia- ble yoke of Jesus Christ, with the admonition to learn of Him, whois meek aod bum of neartand who alone can give rest to the squi; the white linen veil folded in a proper manner Was placed upon each head to hide the eyes and withdraw them irom the world; the white rosary was attached to the girdle at the right a didates | side aud ts used asa testimony of that admiration and donation the religious inust ever feel for the “Model of Women;” the looky white choir mantle wax then piaced about the shoulder’ as atype of those ‘‘virgias who follow the Lamb without spot,’’? and each was exborted to preserve her purity a8 to be entitled to w throughout eternity. The new name was then given, that the bearer “may bo victorious over tho devil, the world, sin and self.” The priest then prayed that they inight serve God in holiness, temperance, justice anid | faithfulness all the % sol their lives, asking Ged to bless them and fuliil all thoir holy desires to life everiast- si mont was then given, and, while the choir sung the psal ol 1 iss tor breihren to dwell ters left the chapel.

The Nellie, Centennial, Ripple, Ellis and Spray were the competing craft. The course was on the Delaware River, from Trenton to Bordentown ; dis- tance about eight miles, The prizo was a silver cup ‘Tho wind was very low, consequently poor time was made, The race was very exciting between the Ellis, Nollie and Gentennial, The resuit was as follows:—Nellie, Captain Wise, rat; Kills, Captain Wilson, qeoond, and Centennial, Captain Ferry, third. The Ripple and Spray did not go around the stake boat. The Nellie beat the Ellis fourteen minutes, and the latter beat Centennial fifteen minutes. Thi creditable to tho amateurs. LADY PEDESTRIANS. During the month of February last two ladics walked a match in Chicago with results unsatifactory to both. Such differences, even among men, aro proverbially hard to settle, How much more so be- tween Indies! The match lasted six aays, Tne pedes- trian differences of M Mary Marshall and Miss Bertha Von Hiller are to be settled by a match at tho Central Park Garden, commencing on Sunday night, November 5, and continuing until near mid- night on the following Saturday, The judges | are to be chosen from the different newspapers, and | several modical men are said to have been retained | to test the endurance of the ladies tn their jong po- jestrian effort, Miss Mary Marshall is stated to be walking twenty-five miles a day in Chicago, and Miss Von Hiller is exercising every day in Central Park. The stakes are to go to the Indy who walks the greatest number of miles in the time sponiied. yt ts proper to state that in the Chicago match Miss Marshall out foored her competitor by twenty-three miles, A NEW ORGANIZATION, | The leading semi-professional aud amateur clubs | throughout the country have wisely concluded to torm | an association of their own and adopt a regular code for tneir government, and not waver between those of | the League professionals and those of the detunct | amatour association, The ampir moral rule, | this season bave been placed in an nviavle position by the confusion which was caused by two sets of con- fictng rules. This isa matter of vast importance, | and should be favorably considered. It is absolutely necessary t mething should be done in order to elevate the game of base bali, woich is now rapidly | sinking into @ decline. Crooked playing has ruined the game, and anless honorable men tuke the matter in tand ‘spd root out this evil the game will never* prosper. Men who have borne notoriously bad repu- tations for years are employed on first class clubs re. sardiess of their characters. The people have become, _ disgusted and will not patronize such playing apy longer. After this searon’s work it ia evident that the only hope for reiorming the game is throagh stanch associations.

A Review of the Difficulties at the Agency FALSE ENUMERATION OF THE INDIANS. oe How Supplies Are Issued to Fictitious Bands. REASONS FOR AGENT BURKE'S REMOVAL. | : | Srénpixe Rock, D. T., Oct. 12, 1876, To tue Epiton oy THe Hunarp;— Mr. Burke’s explanation, as published in your issue of September JO, is 60 meagre that the public ought to know the whole truth im regard to his troubles at Standing Rock Agency, During the winter and spring of 1875 the Indians at Standing Rock were abominabiy Starved, the authorities having failed to deliver the Fations due them, Tbe then agent stated that there were 500 barrels of pork, 140 barrels of sugar, and flour, coffee and corn for six months’ supply stored at Sioux City awaiting shipment, The Orst steamboat up, April 25, delivered seventy-five, the second 147 barreis of pork and other stores, Whother the remainder of the pork was ever delivered “is a question not yet determined. Mr. Burke succeeded Palmer May 1, 1875, From April 25 to No- vember 1, 1875, the six months’ back rations, perhaps, and the twelvo months’ rations for the fiscal year, 1876, were supposnd to havb been do- livered, placing, consequently, vighteen months’ sup- plies for 6,440 Indians at this agency for fourteen months’ consumption, Yet in Decomber, 1875, the agent's clerk, O'Brien, stated that the agent was issuing only half rations, toenablo him to accumulate pro- Visions for Sitting Bull's peopio, who were expected to come in. During May and June, 1876, the Indians were receiving practically nothing, except two issues of beef and ground corn, called meal, but so coarse that but one peck yielded a quart of meal, Its worth whilo to inquire why eighteen months’ supplies tor 6,440 indians were exhausted in thirteon months? This question will bear repeating in another form further on. In the interview Mr. Burke 1s repre- Sented as saying he never required a guard over his family or the large quantity of government property 1a bis possession or under bis charge.

Kill Eagle early in May entered the military post with a party of warriers, gave a danco and domanded rations 6f the post commander, proclaimed that he owned the land the post was built on, the timber and stone which bad been used in its construction, and ho would have tho Great Father to pay for ail thesa things; that his people were starving and they could get no food from the agent. The post commander told them he could do nothing for them. Kill Eagle's party manifested sullenness and demonstrated their defiance by firing off pistols in the air as they marched outside of the garrison, A fow days later the post commander was informed Kill E: the hostilo camp with about thirty lodges, un pass, probably, Kill Exgle has recently admiited being 10 Sitt.ng Bull's camp on the day of the Cusier mas- acre.

The Baptist Minister’ Conference in the old Mariner's church in Oliver street yesterday interested them selves in @ discussion of Mr, Potter's essay, read a weet ago, on how to interest Sabbath school children im the services of the churoh. The fact of thoir absence from such services was admitted aad depiored, but the important problem remained how to remedy (his lack or neglect. Mr. Potter's recommendation waf for ao afternoon service especially for children, but this was ditsented from by Revs. J, Bronner, A. W. Knapp, J. 3. Ladd and othor brethren, who took the ground that there are not men enough inthe ministry capable of conducting such a service; that if thero were it weuld not be advisable for the churches to employ such men or toencourage such services; that it would be subversive of Gou’s order of instruciion in the family, and that children are the quickest to object te childish preaching. Itis not best, as Brother Bron. nor remarked, to seek the conversion of children by the preaching of foolishness instead of by the foolish- ness of preaching. Tho truo remedy for the evil com- plained of is, in the judgmont of Brother Knapp and others, for ministers to use simple language, such as # child can aud, in their sermoi Mr. Knapp gave ilustrations of this point. Brother Potter, the essayist, closed with some remarks in dolence of bis view of ‘the situation, The Methodist mini question yesterday. A.C.

Di ‘Taylor also adinitted the good they had done in th past, but would like (o have the statistics on the ou side—how much harm they done oy deser their own local churches, and bow much good might they not have done bad they remained at home.
