SILK GROWING AND WEAVING.
The soil and climate in many of the
States are peculiarly adapted for the cul
ture of silk. The mulberry tree, upon
which the silk-worm feeds is indigenous,
and may be found in the forests of Penn
sylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, Califor
nia, and in fact in nearly every section of
the Union. Mulberry nurseries and or
chards were successfully cultivated in Con
necticut and Massachusetts, and silk goods,
manufactured from native silk, were ex
ported to England before the American
Revolution. About the sauna period Penn•
sylvania, South Carolina and Georgia ex
ported raw silk to England. The war
caused the culture of silk to be neglected,
and nearly half a century elapsed before it
again received attention. About twenty
seven years ago, the cultivation of the mul
berry and propagation of silk-worms became
a wild and almost universal speculation,
widening in extent until the Norm Multi
coeds explosion prostrated the legitimate
silk industry.
Since the increase of the tariff en silk
goods in 1861, attention has again been
drawn to the culture of silk and manufac
ture of silk goods. The result so Mr has
established the fact that this industry can
be made exceedingly profitable. The ion.
Elliot C. Cowden, United States Commis
sioner to the Paris Exposition, says in his
report :
Our country ie peculiarly littel for Fill: cu!tnro.
Among the finest cocoons exhibited at the Exposi
tion were specimens from California. They were
perfect in tons and remarkable for their white,
silvery line. The soil in the valleys of California
is proverbially fertile, and mulberry trees are pro
duced of the richest and most luxuriant growth.—
Its warm, dry, equitable climate makes it vastly
superior, for silk husbandry, to Frecer or Italy."
The propagation of the silk-worm and
cocoons, and the cult tate of silk era becoming
important branches of agricultural indus
try in California. Mr. Hong and others
are named in official reports as drawing
annually over 81,000 profit per acre from
farms devoted to this industry. Pennsyl
vania, and more than Twenty other States,
can do the same. Hill-sides, too steep For
cereal crops, are suitable for mulberry
orchards. Where the grape can ripen the
mulberry will flourish. There silk-worms
and cocoons may ba successfully propaga
ted, and made a source of large returns.—
Silk raising should be followed in connec
tion with the ordinary agricultural pur
suits, and not as an exclusive industry, as
it requires attention only during about
sixty days its midsummer, when the farmer
is least occupied with his other crops.
Another industry grows out of the cul
ture of silk, and that is its manufacture
into dress goods, velvets, ribbons, serges,
braids, cords, trimmings, gimps, fringes,
sewing silk, and mixed fabrics of silk and
wool and silk And cotton. The manuffic
tore of these goods is-advancing rapidly
under the protective tariff of 1861. Be
fore the tariff on silk goods was raised;
there were not fifty silklooms in the coun
try, fur the manufacture of broad silk. At
the present time there are not less than a
thousand silk looms in New Jersey alone;-
and in other sections of the country not
less than three thousand more. In Pat
terson, N. J., alone, there arc thirty es
tablishments for manu.acturing silk fabrics
of almost every variety. One manufactory
in Hartford, Conn., is turning out silk
goods to the value of nearly three million
dollars per annum. A French Colony in
Franklin county, Kansas, arc manufactu
ring superior silk velvets and ribbons,
which are pronounced by St. Louis deal
ers equal to the best imported. 31. Bois
siere, the Superintendent, was a manufac
turer and exporter• of silks in France. Our
tariff checked his exports to this country ;
so after two careful examinations of the
Western States in person, he returned to
France and exported, not his silks, but a
Colony of weavers to this country. He
purchased 3,200 acres of laud in Kansas,
put up factories, dwellim,s, stores, Sc., and
is now in full and successful operation.—
Such is the perfection of his machinery
that one weaver can turn out 280 yards of
velvet ribbon per day. 'lf," says a Ne
braska editor, "one such establishment can
be made a success in the West, there is
room for a thousand others."
We paid $33,000,000 for imported silk
goods last year. If the present tariff on
silk goods can be preserved for a few years
longer, the culture and manufacture of
silk will rank among the most important.
industries in the United States. We will
not only meet our own demand for home
consumption, but enter into competition
with France and China in supplying the
markets of the world with silk fabrics.

THE OPPOSITION TO THE PRE
SIDENT.
Our Washington letter details the pro-,
ceedings in the United States Senate,
growing out of Senator Trumbull's resolu
tion to appoint a Sta•-Chamber Committee
of Investigation and Retrenchment. It
will be remembered that Mr. Trumbull
took on active part in opposition to the
impeachment and conviction of President
Johnson. Since those days he has never
acted in harmony with the Republican
Senators. In feet his course has been so
obnoxious that he is disowned by the par
ty. His late demonstration in the Senate
was not prompted by a conviction that
fraud and peculation existed, but by a de
sire to annoy the party, harass thd'Aduain
istration, and defeat the re-nomination of
President Grant. It has been known to
the friends of the - Administration at Wash
ington for seine weeks past, that a demon
stration ag,ainst Gen. Grant and the Gov-
eminent was to be made, by Trumbull and
other disaffected politicians; but itwas not
explicitly stated in what manner the oppo
sition would be demonstrated, or what line
of action was to be pursued. Mr. Trum
. bull's resolution relieved the public mind
from further doubt on that sabject. The
resolution was so extraordinary in its pro
visions to secure to the Committee of In
vestigation it (wiled for, unusual powers
and privileges, that it met at once with
decided opposition. Not that any member
of the Senate was averse to a most thorough
investigation into the entire system of the
Civil Service, and into every department
of the Government. But they were oppo
sed, and very justly, to giving any com
mittee power to sit during the recess be
tween each Congress, with authority to
_send at pleasure for persons and papers,
and pry without limit into the affairs of
individuals. More especially were they
opposed to a committee of this kind of
I which Mr. Trumbull was, according to his
own programme, to be the chairman, and
a majority of its members to consist of
Senators who were opposed to the Presi
dent and the Administration.
Enmit
Senator Trumbull, and the other sore
heads of the Senate, fought hard for the
passage of the resolution ; but they were
defeated by a handsome majority. A re
solution was then passed calling for a com
mittee invested with the usual powers of
Senate Committees. The committee was
appointed consisting of Buckingham, Pratt,
Howe, Harlan, Stewart, Poole, and Bay
ard. A strenuous effort was then made
against the composition of the committee,
by Sumner and others, the object being to
secure among its members the names of
Trumbull and others opposed to the Ad
ministration. This effort was also met with
signal defeat. But to convince the Senate
and the country that there was no disposi
tion to prevent a thorough investigation,
consent was aftm.wartis given, and a , thor
ity extended to the committee, to send for
persons and papers, when necessary, in
pursuing legitimate investigations.
The committee contains the names of
men who are unprejudiced, and who will
pursue their investigations with but one
object in view, that of detecting and ex
posing fraud wherever it may be found to
exist. It will commence its labors imme
diately, by en examination into the alleged
Custom House frauds in New York city.
THE PRINCE OF WALES.
After a protracted illness which brought
the royal patient to the very portals of the
grave, he has so far recovered as to be
declared by his physicians to be out of
danger. It is currently reported on both
sides of the Atlantic that the Prince's life
was not at any time in danger, but that
the court bulletins were exaggerated in
order to create public sympathy among the
subjects of the heir apparent. This is
probably not the case. At least two other
patients were taken down near his resi
dence, about the same time, and died; and
it is more than probable that the recovery
of the royal patient is due to his youth and
great physical strength. As it is, the im
mediate effect of his severe illness will be
to create a btrong reaction of public senti
ment in his favor in England, which, with
ordinary prudence on his part, may be
made permanently useful to him during
his future career.
One of the many objections to Royal eti
quette is that it subjects the Prince to a life
of idleness. Excepting to make a speech
occasionally at a public dinner, or to take
command, at long intervals, at a military
review, there is no public * employment,
open to the Prince of Wales. He is com
pelled to waste his time in absolute idle
ness, relieved only by hours in his library
or in the spurts of the field. As far as
usefulness to himself or to the nation is
concerned, his life is a blank. Habits of
idleness are formed, and when the time
comes to pass through his coronation, he
ascends the throne without practical or
political experience. In a Republic, qual
ifications are taken into consideration in
the selection of a chief ruler; and Sir
Charles D:llte will not be slow to direct
public attention to this important fact.
B 0.,, A number of influential journals
of the State are urging the pardon of Dr.
Paul Seboeppe, who, it will he remember
ed, was convicted some two years ago, in
the Cumberland county court, of the mur
der of Miss Steinnecke by poisoning, but
whose death-warrant has never been signed.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
THE WHARTON TRIAL.
Early Girlhood of the. 4eetteeel--3larriage—
Widowhood—ller Alleged Victitne—The Mo
tives—The Faithful Daughter—Their Cell in
theJail—The Great Senatorial Debate.
WAiximiToN, D. C., Jan. 1, 1872.
The ancient town of Annapolis, one hour
and a few minutes ride by rail from Washing
ton, is now the centre of painful attraction,
growing out of the trial of Mts. Wharton. The
Congressional recess, and absence of news in
Washington, has afforded an opportunity to
correspondents to visit the court-room and
jail, at Annapolis, and listen to the proceed
ings in the trial.
In her girlhood days Miss Nugent was an
attractive Philadelphia belle. She was
wayward, impulsive, fond of dress, and extra
vagant. Her shop bills, contracted without,
the knowledge of her father, were unnecessar
ily large, but were always paid by her indul
gent parent. She married a prominent officer
of the U. S. Army, who has been some years
dead. The widow has since lived in Balti
more, where she has always held a high social
position, and was greatly respected up to the
day of her arrest for the alleged murder of
Gen. Ketchum. The General was an intimate
friend of the accused. Some two years pre
vious, he had advanced to Mrs. Wharton
$2,600 on loan. At the time of his death he
was on a visit to her, possibly to collect the
interest or principal of the loan. While there
he was taken suddenly sick, and after great
suffering he died. The physicians then pro
nounced it a case of poisoning, and asked
Mrs. Wharton if it was possible that her col
ored servants could be guilty. She said it
could not have been done by them. "Then,' ,
said one of the physicians, "I hope as much
may be said of the other inmates of this
house." To this Mrs. Wharton replied that
"if it was a case of poisoning it was done by
his own hand." It has been proved in the
trial that Mrs. Wharton purchased poison at
the time of the General's sickness ; and poison
wad found in his stomach and bowels after
death. It was also proved that Mrs. Wharton
personally prepared and gave her patient
medicine on several occasions, during his ill-
The prosecution has closed its testimony,
and the defence has opened its side of the case.
It is manifestly evident now, that neither the
jury nor the public have any doubt as to the
guilt of the wretched woman., But the evi
dence is all circumstantial. No one could
swear that they saw poison administered.
During the same week that the General was
poisoned, another alleged victim was lying at
the very point of death at her house, but was
saved almost by miracle. Mr. Van Ness, a
Baltimore banker, and her own business agent,
had visited her, by invitation, on business, and
while there partook of a beverage offered. He
soon became sick, and grew worse until a
physician and his wife were sent for. The
doctor prescribed and left. When Mrs. Van
Ness was preparing Cie medicine, Mrs. Whar
ton suggested that a double portion of water
be put in the mixture, and only half of it be
given at one time. This was done, and when
the wife was about to offer her husband the
second portion she tasted it and found it to
have a different taste from that of the first
dose. She poured it out, and found a white
sediment in the bottom of the tumbler. The
patient recovered:
Mrs. Wharton's son Harry, a young man of
promise, died suddenly in August, 1870. His
life was insured for $20,000, in favor of his
mother. The insurance companies paid the
amount of insurance, but afterwards had rea
son to suspect that all was not right, and were
about to take measures to recover back the
insurance. If this case had been brought to
trial, it would have been proved, by the insti
ranee companies, that Mrs. Wharton had
represented to them that the son procured his
insurance policy against her express wishes,
and that he had always paid the premiums out
of his own money. But Van Ness would have
I testified that he went with Harry to the com
pany's physician, when he was examined ;
that the policy was taken out because Mrs.
Wharton "coaxed and persuaded" her son to
do so ; that Mr. Van Ness paid the policy, by
order of Mrs. Wharton, out of her own funds,
as he did all subsequent payments on the
policy, as they became due. Hence the mo
tive for securing the death of the son, and for
getting her confidential business agent out of
the way.
The note for $2,600 held by Gen. Ketchum,
against the accused, has never been seen since
his death. It was proved that Mrs. W. took
charge of the General's clothes when he be
came sick, and no doubt embraced the oppor
tunity to secure and destroy the evidence of
her indebtedness.
Within a week after the death of the Gen
eral Mrs. Wharton visited the family of the
deceased, in Washington; shed tears of sym
pathy for them in their terrible bereavement,
and demanded from the son $4,000 which she
said the bad loaned to the General, and which
she was now in urgent need of, as she was
about to sail, with her daughter, to Europe.
The son expressed surprise, and asked hOw
his father could be borrowing money from
her, when she was $2,600 in his debt. "0, I
paid that," she replied, and gave the date.
The son referred to his father's books, and
found a record ; on the date mentioned, of a
payment of interest only on the note. She
finally left the son, persisting in the truth of
the statement she had made, and returned to
Baltimore, where she was soon afterwards
arrested.
General Ketchum was a popular officer in
the U. S. Army. He was over fifty years of
age, hale, hearty, and physically powerful.
Both the victim and the accused moved in the
best circles of society, and the relations and
friends are naturally in the greatest distress,
increased in intensity as the trial progresses.
Mrs. Wharton's faithful daughter, Nellie,
clings to her with an almost super-human
affection. She is ever by her side in the
dreary court room during the day, and in her
desolate cell at night. The jail is an old brick
building. Mrs. Wharton's cell is in the second
story. It contains a few pieces of hired fur
niture, a wood stove, and a plain piece of
carpet, thrown loosely over the stone Boor.
Upon the mantle, over the stove, is a bible
and prayer book, and upon a trunk in a cor
ner, are two novels, entitled, "Woven of Many
Threads," and "The Young Duke," and also a
set of Byron's Works. Their meals are sent
in from a Restaurant; and a colored servant,
also hired, goes in and putethe room in order.
THE GREAT SENATORIAL DEBATE.
The most exciting debate of the season was
that in the senate over Senator Trumbull's
Resolution, calling for a Committee of Inves
tigation. The debate lasted over a week, and
ended in a signal defeat for the anti adminis
tration members of the Senate and disaffected
politicians generally.
It has been customary to have a "Joint"
Committee of the two houses, for the purpose
of attending to all cases of corruption, fraud,
retrenchment, and reform. This Committee
has heretofore been appointed on the same
basis as all other Congressional Committees.
with power to attend to each business only as
might from time to time be assigned to it by Con
gress. Mr. Trumbull's resolution called for a
special Committee of the Senate, with special
and extraordinary powers, including that of
investigating anything and everything they
might feel disposed to overhaul, with power
to sit during the Summer between the sessions
of Congress, and with authority to send for
persons and papers whenever it might be
their pleasure to do so.
The resolution was opposed by Senators
Conkling, Morton, Sherman, Edmunds, and
others, on the ground that the Committee
would be invested with extraordinary and
unnecessary powers. A stormy debate en
sued. The supporters of the resolution charged
that the friends of the Administration were
afraid of a thorough search for fraud. The
charge was denied in the most emphatic lan
guage. Investigation was courted, but ob
jection to the resolution was made, they said,
because it was intended as a menace toward
President Grant and the Administration ; and
it proposed to organize a Star-chamber
Committee that would not scruple to push its
inquiries into private affairs, where the Senate
and its Committees can have no right of search.
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, intro
duced, as an amendment a resolution, to ap
point a Committee of investigation, retrench
ment, and reform, on the same basis as all
other Committees of the Senate. Senator
Sumner opposed the amendment, and was
followed in the same strain by other political
sore-heads. Henry Wilson contended that
there was less of corruption and fraud in the
civil service now than at any previous period
in the history of the Government; but he
would not oppose the most thorough investi
gation. as it would provo the fact. Mr. An
thony's resolution was carried, 35 to 22, and
21r. Trumbull's was lost.
Mr. Trumbull brought up his resolution
again in a different and less objectionable
form, and the opposition to it consented to
adopt the clause givaig power to send for
persons and papers, butonly "daring the term
of the present session of Congress.
The Committee was appointed, consisting
of Buckingham, (Chairman), Pratt, Bowe,
Harlan, Stewart, Poll, sad Bayard.
The apponents of the Administration ob
jected to the composition of the Committee,
on the ground that neither Mr. Trumbull nor
any of those who supported his resolution
were upon it. The debate on this point was
sharp, and was continued until ten o'clock at
night. The vote was then taken on the Com
mittee as nominated, resulting in 42 for, and
only one (Blair) voting against it as original
ly composed.
Letter from New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 12, 1871
Mn. EDITOR:-After eight days sailing from
New York, leaving there on the 2d inst., we
reached here on the 13th. Our steamer was
the "George Washington," of the Cromwell
Line, Captain E. V. Gager, Ist mate, Mr. Free
man, let engineer, Mr. Clark. We congratu
late the Company in having efficient officers—
men who were always at their post of duty,
ready for any service which would secure the
comfort and safety of their passengers.
Our voyage bega,n pleasantly- on Saturday,
the 2nd, but Sunday ushered in a very severe
storm, which continued for two days. To say
the ocean was rough hardly expresses its coo
dition. One angry wave after another tossed
the ship as a ball, and heavy seas rolled over
our deck. On Sunday night the fog was so
dense, and some of the ship's machinery get
ting out of order, we were compelled to stop
for several hours. Sea sickness was quite an
epidemic, and only one gentleman among the
cabin passengers escaped.
After Tuesday we could not have wished for
pleasanter weather and finer sailing, and we
had a variety of ways of passing the time.—
Daring the storm, when able, the musical por
Lion of our number sang earnestly the hymn
"I would not live always where storm," &c.
One day we had a debating society, then read
ing and gossipping. There never was per"aps
a more lively and yet quiet set of passengers
on board a ship. Among the number who
contributed so much to orr enjoyment, we
would not forget to mention Mr. G. B. Kerper
of Big Cove Tannery, Mr. Monies, of New York,
and Miss Kendall, of Texas. If Miss K. is a
representative of Texan beauty and intelligence
some of onr party think they will not look
further in search of a wife.
We saw no land until December 7th, when
the Florida coast came in view. First came
the sand banks and then the pines. Thermome
ter 80° at 2e. u. To-day we caught a Horse
Mackerel three feet long, weighing 12 pounds
when dressed. At 4P.a. we passed the Flor
ida Cape, and the Captain pointed out the dif
ferent points of interest, and among them were
the wreckers, who were watching for vessels
in distress. No overcoats are needed here,
and one can sleep comfortably with an open
window and withodt a blanket. We average
about 225 miles per day.
We spent December Bth and 9th sailing
through the Gulf of Mexico, and on Saturday
night we took on nn ocean pilot and then
passed over the bar into the Mississippi river,
changing pilots again, we started up the river
to New Orleans, a distance of 110 mil We
reached the city at 11 a. a., on. Sunday, but
only for our diary we would not have known
it, as the noise and confusion ou the streets,
and the theatres as well as churches being
open, made it seem more like a week day.
New Orleans has a large foreign element.—
We meet people of every nation. The Chinese
have a large representation, and I visited one
of their stores. A large proportion of the
people here are "fast," and live very superfi
cial lives. There is a great deal of show and
gaiety on the surface, but beneath we see the
sad results of living in restaurants, drunken
ness and gambling. Lotteries are a legalized
institution, and every grocery is also a liquor
store. Although the business streets are gen
erally narrow, yet Canal—the Chestnut street
of New Orleans—is a grand avenue, being
nearly twice the width of Market street, Phil
adelphia. The weather is mild, trees arc cov
ered with leaves, the grass looks green, and
ono from the North can hardly realize it as the
middle of winter. The Planters now are busy
gathering in their cotton crop, and oranges
are coming into market quite freely. The
orange is generally sold at the beginning of
the season, so that the Planter has nothing to
do with its disposal when ripe.
I conversed to day with Captain Armstrong,
at whose house Mace, the pugilist, trained for
a week before the fight took place. His ac
count of his walking thirty miles a day, of the
various exercises, of his care in eating, show a
patience and discipline worthy of a better
cause.
To morrow I start for Galveston, Texas, and
you may hear from mn• again. L.
The New Attorney General
Hon. Geo. H. Williams, of Oregon, who
has just been appointed Attlrney General
of the United States, in place of Amos T.
Akerman, resigned, - was born on March 23,
1833, in Columbia county, New York, and
received an acadamical education. He
studied law, was admitted to the bar in 18-
44, and then removed to lowa, where, in
1847, he was elected Judge of the First
Judicial District of that State. In 1853
he was appointed Chief Justice of Oregon
Territory, and in 1857 was re-appointed to
that position, but subsequently resigned.
He was a member of the Constitutional
Convention of Oregon, and in 1864 was
elected Senator flaim that State for the
term commencing March 4, 1871. On
February 9, 1871, he was appointed one
of the five Commissioners on the part of
the United States to the Alabama claims,
and yesterday his name was sent into the
U. S. Senate for contbrmation as Attorney
General. George H. Williams was origi
nally a Democrat, but abandoned that or
ganization in 1860 and joined the Republi
can party. While a member of the U. S.
Senate he introduced and was instrumen - al
in the passage of the measure known as
the "Tenure of Office" bill, and the "Mili
tary Reconstruction" act. He was a mem-
cer of several important committees, and
also of the special committee appointed to
accompany the remains of President Lin
coln to Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Williams
is an accomplished lawyer, and a logical
and impressive speaker, and is in every
way qualified to fill the position of Attor
ney General.
The Ku-Klux Trial
Reverdy Johnson, in an argument in
behalf of the Ku Klux, at Ciluwbia, on
Monday, the 18th ult, used the following
extraordinary language toward his own
clients, reported Verbatim :
"Neither my distinguished friend, Mr
Staubury, nor myself are here to defend
or justify or palliate any outrages that may
have been perpetrated in your State by
the association of Ku-Klux. I have lis
tened with horror to some of the te:timony
which has been brought before you. The
outrages proved have been shocking to
humanity ; they admit neither of justifi
cation nor excuse; they violate every ob
ligation which law and nature impose up
on them. These men appear to bare been
ahke insensible to the obligations of hu
manity and religion, but the day will come,
however. if it. has not already arrived, when
they will deeply lament it. Even if jus
tice should not overtake them, there is
another tribunal from which there is no
escape. It is their own concience, that
tribunal which sits in the breast of every
living man, and that still small voice that
thrills through the heart,—the voice of
eoncience—the voice of God. And if it
has not already spoken to them in tones
which have waked them up in the enormi
ty of their conduct, I trust in the mercy
of heaven that a voice will speak before
they shall be called to the dread tribunal
to account for their transactions in this
world."

in a close carriage at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, to avoid the Deputy Sh,:rilf who, in
a coupe, followed him through his circui
tous route. Ho passed - through several
streets at a very rapid pace, evidently in
tending to mislead.the Deputies as to his
destination, bat he was finally tracked to
No. 84 Duane st., where Deputy Sherif}
Roland was act to watch hull. It was
from this place that he escaped, by going
through back lots and alley-ways, as stated,
voile the deputy watched in fiout. It is
supposed the carriage picked him up on
the street in the rear of his office and
quickly drove away with him.
After leaving his office in Duane-st.,
Tweed drove in his carriage, with the
curtains drawn down so as to effectually
conceal the occupant, to the stable of
Mr. Butts, at the corner of Bayard and
Elizabeth-sts. when the carriage stopped
inside the stable, and with as much alacrity
as the small door and the corpulence of
the man would allow, Mr. Tweed alighted.
As the person who witnessed this incident,
and. who described it to the reporter, said.
“the old man acted smart, but leaked
pretty bad." Mr. Tweed went. up-stairs
into the room over the stable, and re
mained there half an hone. Meanwhile
the carriage which took him was dismi, , sed,
and another close vehicle was made ready.
This Mr. Tweed entered, and with the
curtains drawn down, the carriage was
driven rapidly away, but what was its des
tination only Mr. Tweed's intimates know.
Early yesterday morning. Richard and
• William M. Tweed, jr., called on Sheriff
Brennan and assured him that their father
had not fled the city, and had no inten
tion of running away; but altlion.h they
said that they had just left him. they failed
to inform the Sheriff of his biding-place.
The result of this conversation are hinted
at in the statement of Terence Farley,
published elsewere. The person who it is
said has consented togo
on Tweed's bead
is his brother Richard.
Mr. Brennan adeYtted that did
not know where 'jr. Tweed win, but ex
pressed his confidence in the assurance of
Mr. Tweed's sons that their father would
be forthcoming shortly. Notwithstand
ing this, Deputy-Sheriff Judson Jarvis
and another officer in the interest of Mr
Farley searched for Mr.Twced, but failed
to find him, and up to an early hour this
- morning nothing was known of his place
of concealment by the pursuers. Sheriff
Brennan says that until Mr. Farley sur
renders Mr Tweed's person, will be held
reipmsible fa. the amount for which he
became Mr. Tweed's surety.—.N. Y. Tri
