HOW THE STIPULATIONS WERE MADE BY WHICH HE WILL REVISIT NEW YORK. The recent announcement that Peter B. Sweeny might be expected in New York early m February was, of course, a matter of considerable surprise to the pub- he. Toeflect bis return a stipulation was made by which he would be free from arrest during the pen- dency of his trial and thirty days thereafter, Through what means and for what purpose such negotiations were conducted has since been a subject of interest and inquiry. NEGOTIATIONS OF COUNSEL The story of the negotiations tor Mr, Sweeny’s re- turn to New York is brieily as follows:—Early 10 Sep_ tember last, Mr. Peckham, acting for the State agai Peter B. Sweeny, addressed a note to Mr, Johu Mc- Keon, counsel for the defence, in which he expressed & desire that Mr. Sweeny should be present at the trial, which had been adjourned over to the first’ Tuesday in January. In this communication Mr. Peckbamn proposed “that Mr. Sweeny should return and be exempt from auy arrest, either criminal or civil, during the pendency of his case before the | Court and thirty days succeeding 1. After a lapse of three wee his first letter, Mr, Pookham renewed the proposition, making it moro definite, and inciuded im the guarantee immunity (rom arrest at the suits of taxpayers or citl- zens. Ihe receipt of this last communication was acknow!- ed by Mr. McKeon, and sent ut once to Mr. Sweeny, nin'Paris, The later, veing himself # good lawyer, ered atonce that neither Mr. Peckham nor any other ofileer of U tute had the power to deter any taxpayer from commencing suit for the recovery of Ho embouied this to his counsel, and the latter addressed a note to Mr, Peckham, calling his attention to the point mentioned, Mr. Peckham, recognizing the importance of such a construction of the law, drew up a paper, in whieh the Attorney General, Dis- view in a lette trict Attorney, Corporation Counsel and himself ned an =greement, guaranteeing all that had been expressed ‘in the trst commaunica- tion, with ve ition that they would use influence to discourage any and all ken against Mr. Sweeny dur- at “might be g the period purse, satixiactory, with it# pro- mises Mr, Sweeny,will y York some ume | next mouth to attend the trial of bis cause. RING SUIT RUMORS, It was rumored Inst evoning about the Hoffman | House that Mr. John D. Townsend bad bec retained as counsel for William M. Tweed, Friends of the lat- ause Mr, Townsend had go y monaged the Woodward case, and they viident he would secure a ike happy result for trial is set down to come off after that of Would it not be singular if, twee dag State's evidence against Sweeny’ The b some prov ity of uy never being put on tial at ail, Sweeny returned to New York to attend his xpress instigation of Mr. leckham, the uusel for the State. ‘The prosecution cannot, of urae, usd Sweeny as # Witness and afterward im- but it is understood that the pr rel be compelled either to pat Mr. Sweeny on the their client in avery bad position.

The first important movement in regard to the gov- ernment of this city will be made this week, when a bill Will be presented by the New York delegation cro- ating a new Department of Excise and taking the con- trol entirely away from the State and vesting it in the Mayor and Aldermen of this city, Upto 1855 all ex- cise matters were controlled by the municipal author- ities, Then came the Prohibition Jaw, which was de- clared unconstitutional. In 1857 the State Legislature took control of the matter, and up to this day the State law controls the city of New York, The drawing and framing of the new bill creating a Department of Excise was intrusted to Mr. A. Oukey Hall, aided by the suggestion’ of the New York members and the Protec- tive Liquor Dealers’ Association. 1t will be remembered that the latter association joined interests with Tam- many at the iate election on the express condition that men favorablo to their interest should be noml- nated. ‘Two objects have been kept In view in framing this bill—one is making it acceptable to the country members and the other is the enforcement of its pro- Visions. 1118 impossible at present to enforce the law agaiust the liquor dealers for the reason that the ma- chinery of the courts, by the present method, is inade- | quate to deal with the manifold cases, ‘The new bill | makes the Mayor and Excise Commissioners a court which hus power to deal with all infractions of the Excise law without a jury. AN IMPKISONMENT CLAUSE, ‘There is another startling feature in the bill It fines are not paid and property cannot be found to sutisly the law the person of the dealer will be seized ana imprisoned, ‘The bill gives greater license to liquor dealers on the Sabbuth, und particularly to steambout and hotel proprietors. BERR AND THE CHURCH, ‘The Dill provides that no Jager beer shall be sold on the Subbath within a distance of one quarter of a mtio ofa church or any place of public worship; it probibits the sale of liquors tu mimors, and ‘makes an entire change in the disposal of the moneys received and the payment of licenses, The complete draft of the bill will be found below, and it will be seen that it gives the entire control of the liquor business to the city authorities and omits New York trom the “Metropoll- tan Police act.” 1118 claimed by its advocates that, as New York city controls its Fire Department and its water so it should 1n like manver control its rum:— THE BOMNSURLL ACT.

STATE PRISONS. rovisions of the law ereby repeal: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF OUR CORRECTIVE INSTITUTIONS, The report of the Inspectors of New York State Prisons for the y ending September 80, 1876, hus been received, The following are the prinoipal features of the report. The financial statement shows. Expenditures, berg Menge $78,005 3086 (96,608, 293,526 68,323 +++ $843,068" $238,023 The prisons were practically under the control of the former Board of Inspectors for the first four mouths of the fiscal year. The expenditure list during this period shows totals of $336,641 24; do- posit list, $41,355 24, and doficiency hist, $295,286, The last eight mouths show:-—Expenditures, $506,427 34; deposits, $196,672 81, and deficiencies, $309,734 63, The average duily number of convicts during the past year was over 300 in excess of the pre- vious year. I'he report claims great improvement being made in every respect over the preceding year’s man. agement, The whole cost of support per day for each convict at Auburn Prison was thirty-eight cents aud five mills. Economy bas been severely adhered to in every detail of management. Progress has also been made toward @ sell-supporting management of the State prisons. ‘The estimates for the ensuing year are:—Appropria- tions, $650,000; deposits, $300,000; deticienry, $830,000. ‘tbe Hoard of luspectors have no discretion us to the number and pay of employéa in the prisons, ‘The suluries at Auburn, Sing Sing and Clintoa prisons for the year amounted to $235,594 09, The inspectors could bave reduced this amount twenty per cout had they the power, ‘The report states that tbe State prison buildings, most of them being built bwif a century ago, are not adapted to the moderu ideas of penal science. ‘The report of the Superintendent of the State Asylum for Insave Criminais, -Dr. McDonald, shows a total exponditure of $29,511 23; deposits, $12,896 69; do- ficiency, $17,114 64, ‘This is the frst time thus this institution mukes a deposit of receipts. A wall suould be built around the Sing Sing grounds, and the cost would be trifling, It would be a great preventive of escapes. The manufacture of tron und nails at Clinton Prison has grees @ Onancial failure. It cost three times as much ag would the support of the con- Vict in absolute idleness. State works should bo limited to wining and the manufacture of wood work as bund labor. The contract system of convict labor is most preferable, Gas works erected in prison groundg would save a large amount of money, where. ‘as the present system 1s unnecessarily expensive. Tho daily average of the number of convicts during tho pust year has been 8,600, the largest ever known since the construction of the three prisons, ‘The uccommodations consist of 3,102 cells, the aver- age size of each cell being three fect wice, seven feet Jong aud seven feet bigh, Young crimin: should be sent to Elmira Retormatory. The report urges a more liberal exercise of the pardoning power, Kuch county ought to pay a fixed sum per day or per week tor the maintenance of the convicts it sends to the State prisons. A board of pardons, to recommend to the Governor deserving cases, would be an excellent insti- tution. Clinton Prison is in un excellent condition in & sapitary point of view. ‘PEDESTRIANISM. WESTON MATCHED FOR ONE THOUSAND POUNDS. {From the Sportsman, Dec, 19] At length a genuine walking match botween our long distance champions seems imminent, The correspond- ence, which for some time past hus been going on in our columns, bas brought about the desired result, ana it 18 now almost beyond doubt that Weston will have to meet one, If not two, of the best men of the day. In our columns of Saturday “J, D. A.” expressed his willingness to match the American for a six days’ walk against any one that could be found, and yesterday a correspondent, who signs bimself *Anti-Humbug,” Jodged £500 in our bands to accept that challenge. Youterday Sir John D. Asticy, who wishes no lo:ger to hide uis identity, called upon us and covered that amount with a similar guin on behalt of Weston. Allthe parties are to meet here on a day appointed after the compietion of the present exhibition at the Agricultural Hall—probably Monday next—and the preliminaries are to be settled and articles of agrec- ment signed. Both sides geem anxious for business, and a match is, we think, almost certuin to be rutified. We have ulso received a telegram from Hoylake, from O’Leary, informing as that he bas sent a check tor £100 wo bind a match with Weston in terms of “J.D, A.’s’? proposal, and that particulars will tollow in a letter to come to hand this morning. The parties who have posted £1,000 in our hands are willing that this third man auould enter into a sweep, the winner to take £1,500, A gigantic match of this description 18 unequalled in the annals of pedestrianism, and should the affair come to fruition the interest and ox- citement will be something tremendous, CORNELL’S ENGLISH CHALLENGES. Truaca, Jan. 2, 1877, To tux Epitor or tux Heraup:— Permit me to state to the public, through your columns, that the Cornell Navy has just received for- mal refusals in answer to the challenges sent to the University Boat Clubs of Oxford and Cambridge Oxtord’s reason for declining is:—-*lt would be impos. sible to get a really representative crow togother dur- ing our long vacation.’? Cambridge gives sevoral reasons, the first of which is the same us that stated by Oxford; second, ‘By accepting yours we lay our- seives open to innumerable challenges, which we should be quite unable to meet; third, ‘lt hus hitherto been our invariable practice to row against no other university than Oxford,’’ The letter closes as fol- lows:—“If it should not be inconvenient to you to enter for the annual Henley Regatta we can insure for you there not only competition with the best English eights, fours and pairs, but a hearty welcome.” Inus- much as Oxford ana Cambridge enter crews in thi: regatta there is still an opportunity for Cornell to row the English univérsities, Such an undertaking, how- ever, is out of the question, inasmuch as the Henley Regatta takes place in June, about commencement week, For this reason the crew could not expect to arrive in England more than a day or two beiore the ruce, and, under Buch conditions, defeat would be in- evitable, It us highly probable from this that no American university will ever succeed in making a race with Oxford or Cambridge without sending a graduate crew to the Henley Regatta, In this way the oarsmen could go over carly enough to secure the practice which would be absolutely necessary in order to make their chances of success equal, J.

Tbe statement made that some of the letters wero evi- dently opened, resealed and sent back tothe Post Office was erronoous, as such a proceeding would only arouse the suspicion of the officials to institute inquiries, ‘The bags being in the care of Dodd’s Express Company when tho, were robbed Mr. Dodd employed the Pink- erton Detective Agency in unearthing the thievories, and it is proposed now in the following, statement to show the system of “shadowing” adopted and by which some of the guilty parties were brought to justice.

ABOUT FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAIS’ WORTH OF CHECKS STOLEN FROM PHILADELPHIA—RE« TICENCE OF THE BANE OFFICLRS—DOUBLE INDORSEMENTS. Pmiaveuruta, Jan. 4, 1877. But little is known in this city by any of the aue thorities as to the recent mail robberies, the bags having been opened afier the mails hud been made up here and the case having been worked up and the arrests made in New York. The first eflect of the news contained in this morning’s Nqw York papers asto the capture of the robbers, wus witnessed bv the Hxrarp “correspondent to-day upon calling at the Post Office to ascertain if anything new in relation to the caso was known in Philadelphia, Sev- eral scared and avxious-looking merchants and business men were found in earnost consultation with Chief Clerk Wunder as to tho fato of certain checks which had been mailed to New York, Boston and in- termediate points. In mauy cases investigation showed that the checks had reached their destination os that it was premature to expect acknowledgments, but in many instaaces there was reason to believe thaf the aralts nad been stolen, All day senders of paper by mail called at the Post Oftice to report losses and there will, doubtlo: be others to-morrow. So far as ascertaine about $16, worth of checks on Philadelphia banks seom td have becn stolen trom the mail in New York and returned to this city, presented by tho thieves or their accomplices, and paid, Of course time will snow that this docs not cover tho entire loss, ‘These presentations commenced ubout two weeks ago, and the list payment was made by the Commercial National Bank on Saturday lust, All the forged payer appears to have been negotiated within @ week’s time, It 1s known that the following banks have cashed the stolen checks:—The Commercial, the First National, the Girard, the Union, the Manufac turers, and the Corn Exchange. ‘The’ method, employed by the thieves in obtaining the money on the checks was a8 follows :— ‘The robbers woulda take one sent by a firm or an in- dividual in Phiiadelphiato a New York er Boston It would be payable at a Philadelphia bank, judorsement of the payee would be forgea on the back of the check, aud beneath the signature of the payer would be well counterfeited, to give the bank evidence that the drawers of the check indorsed the jnuorsee ment of the drawee. ‘I'hus fortitied it was saie for @ member of the gang to present the check ut the proper bank hore, where it would be cashed. The reat number of these stolen checks will not be kuown for somo time, because it will be some time before many houses will write to koow about balances which they may suppose to bave been negiected, when the devtor bas before sent a check in seitiement. It is sup- josed that the checks im this city were ail presented y two persons, and the police are looking for them, having pretty full personal descriptions for a clew, ‘All the banks were yesterday moroiug furnished with these descriptions, and a sharp lookout is being kept for nen who ure now doubtless tar away. ‘A Visit to the bunks known to have paid some of the stolen checks developed a general reticence, from a mistaken Idea of caution. The cashier of the First Natiunal Bank sald that only one check bad been paid by them and the amount was “only trifling.’ ‘The cashier of the Corn Exchange Bank was more communicative, He knew of seven checks that had been presented and puid. ‘They were drawn by Phila- deiphians in tavor of firms in Boston and Providence, and their total value was about $6,500 The Commer cial Bank bad discovercd that a check for $2,000, 1m tavor of a Boston house, was one of the stolen ones. The Girard Bank paid a check for a similar amount drawn by adrug firm of Philadelpina, Attbe Union and the Manufacturers! National Bank all information on the subject was retused, One o! the first stolen checks presented was refuscd by the paying teller of a bunk because he did not knuw the geuuineness of the indorsement, which the porson who presented it claimed to be bis. “I! 1 should get the signature of the firm drawin; the check in my favor beneath my signature woul that be suilicient?’’ the presenter asked, “Yes,” was the answer, and the check was returned with what purported to. be the desired indorsement, ‘Thereaiter all the other checks were presented in this way.
