Mr. TWEED, of course, did not mean to buy himeclf, nor hia friond Branrky, nor Messze. Creawen, Geer, and Mrenant Nowton, who were sure already for their charter. There remained, then, only twelve more men to be gained ovar, and for the purchase of these twelve he allowed $200,000, Dividing $200,000 hy 12 gives $16,066 each, which is, then, th t by Mr. Twenp on each man.
