In the rear 1SG7 it waa understood

so ; and iu tbat same year I called upon
Tweed at the Street Department, on
the comer of Broadway and Park
place, and told bim so. He asked me
whether Watson had spoken to me
about it, and I answered in the nega
tive ; "You had best go over and talk
to Woodward about it." Accordingly,
I went to the Supervisors' Clerk's office,
and, at my request, Joseph B. Young
there introduced me to Woodward.
I thin stated to Woodward that I
understood there was a new programme ;
that people who supplied publio offices
of the city or county must pay for it ; !
that as some wbo had before furnished
the supplies were unwilling to go on in
tbat way 1 had thought I might under
take it, and that Tweed had referred
me to him. Woodward heard ine
tbrougb, and spoke but little. lie, case the rule so sgreed on would ie
bowever, told me to call next day. quire a division of this $110 as follows :
ahin a day or two afterward 1 met
Woodward in the same office, when he
stated to me that it was all ricbt. and
added that I must fix my bills so as to
"put up," as be expressed it, " 35 per
cent." lie told me that 25 per cent,
was for Tweed and 10 per cent, for Con
uolly. 1 assented, acd thereupon be
handed me a number of orders for rup
plies to publio offices. This was tbe
beginning of my dealing in this way.
My first receipt of a warrant trom the
Finance Department of said city on
account of such dealings was on Janu
ary 20, 18GS.
After I bad complied with the first
eet of orders thus given me by Wood
ward, and before receiving any tnonry
therefor, I called upon Tweed at said
Street Department, and bad a conver
sation with him concerning the method
of making up my bills. 1 mentioned
to him that my father's partner had de
clined doing this sort of business, and
bat 1 could cot use their firm name.
,. !
a ween itp.ieu : utu very .uin skid
ned ; you can use "Ingersoll & Co." as
a firm ; that little differenco will not be
noticed, and the bills will go right
aloug as u?ual. I said, " Very well,"
aud thenceforward ia all my transac
tions, I made out my bills under the
firm of "Ingersoll & Co." except where
fictitious names were used.
I understood from the acts and occa
fional tpeeches of Tweed, Connolly,
Watson, and Woodward, that I bad
only to do as I was directed by them or
auy of" them, and that the allowance
and paymeut of bills made up by me
againrt Skid City Corporation and said
couuty would be so arranged tbat I
would be well paid thereout, and that
from tb residue aud like dealings with
others fitraisltiug public work and sup
plies, rl.e necessary expenses of man
aging the State Legislature and tbe
New York local government, with am
ple rewards for tbe managers of such
local goveriucnt, would be realized.
1 bis was a oosumoo talk, aud I sup
posed it to be understood between niy-M-lf
'and the pevs-m above nsuneJ, that

self; that the rest was to go to the j
publio officers, Tweed as usual to re-;
ceive 25 per cent of It, Connolly to
'reoeive 20 per cent, of it, Peter B.
Sweeny to receive 10 per cent, of it,
; Watson to receive 5 per cent, of it, and
Woodward to receive 5 per cent, of it.
1 arranged accordingly all the bills on
which the warrants appear. I remark
ed to Watson that 65 per cent, was a
pretty large sum to pay ; he replied
that if I got my fall sum that ought to
satisfy me. .

This would still leave a fragment of the

This was in cavh iimtance just 6'l per cent,
of Ihe entire sum allowed lor interest, being
the intorvtt on Tweed", 25 percent, and ou
tbe 85 jnrr c-ut kept by the racchauics and

ily common mode of nuking niy afore

to him the amount in bank nott, drawn by

tended to avoid such exactitude, and when
I gave hits a chk it was generally for

Iu the summer, or early in the autumn of

a suit against me about my dealings afore

them, to destroy their books and papers

a pronpect of a general resumption of work.
Tbe appearance was good as far as it reach

i the men who wished to work commenced
to do so, others organised to prevent them
from doing so, as may be learned from de
spatches. At Mahony City early oa tbe
morning of the 8rd inst., an immense mob
of miners from the Luzerne region, num
bering probably 1,000 men, appeared and
stnppt d all the collieries. Tbe Sheriff and
posse were fired on. He bad ordered the

Tbe tiring then became general, the rioters

being above the citixens on the hillside.

f klECCTIVE MaKSIOX,".
1 , Wasuixutom, ilay 2, 1875. J .
Pear Sir : A abort time subsequent
to the Presidential electiou of 1872 tbe
press, a portion of it hostile o tbe Re
publican party, nod particularly so to
the Administration, started the cry of
"Cawariam" and "the third term," call
ing lustily for ma to define my position
on the latter subject. I believed it to
be beneath tbe dignity of tbe office
which I bave bees twice called open to
fill t answer sueb a question before
the subject eboald be presented by coos
pet en t authority to make a nomination,
or by a body of each dignity and an
tbrity as not to make a reply a fair
subject of ridicule. In fact, 1 bave
been surprised tbat so many sensible
persons in the Republican party should
permit their enemy to force upon them
and their party an issue wbiob cannot
add strength to their party, no matter
bow met. But m body of the dignity
and party authority of a conventioc to
mkc nomination for the State officers
nf Ihe second State in the . Union hav
in considered this question, I deem it
not improper that I should speak.
Ib the first place, 1 never sought tbe
office for a sectiod, nor 'even for a first
nomination. To the first I waa called
from a life position one created by
Congress expressly for me for supposed
services rendered to tbe republic. Tbe
position vacated 1 liked. It would have
beeu most agreeable to me to bave re
tained it uutil such time as Congress
might bave consented to my retirement,
witb tbe rank and a portion of tbe emol
uments which I so much needed, to a
borne whtre the balance of my days
might be spent in peace and the enjoy
ment of domestic quiet, relieved from
the cares which have oppressed me so
constantly now for fourteen years. But
1 was made to believe tbat : the public
good called me to make the sacrifice.
Without seeking the office for the sec
ond term, the nomination was tendered
uu wu Kuutra
to me oy a unanimous tote of tbe del-
...
ui " ne ouiesana iern rones,
selected by the Republicans of each to
r i a.i iin .
represent their whole number, for the
purpose of waking their nomination.
1 cannot say that 1 was not pleased at
this, and at the overwhelming indorse
ment which their action received at the
election following. ' But it must be re
membered that all the sacrifice, except
that of comfort bad been made in ac
cepting the first term. Then, too, sueb
a fire of personal abuse and slander bad
been kept np for four years, notwith
standing tbe conscientious performance
of uiy duties to the beet of my under
standing, though I admit in the light of
subsequent eveuts many times subject
to fair criticism, that au endorsement
from the people, who alone govern re
publics, was a gratification that it is
only human to bave appreciated tud en
joyed. ;
. ow for tbe third term. . I do not
want it any more than I did tbe first.
I would not write or utter a woid to
change the will of tbe people in ex
pressing and having their cbnioe. The
question of the cumber of terms al
lowed to arjy one Executive can only
come up fairly in the shape of a propo
sition to amend the Constitution, a
shape in which s'l political parties can
participate, fixing the length of time or
the number of terms for which any one
person shall be eligible for the office of
President. Until such an amendment
is adopted the penpJe cannot be re
stricted in their choice by resolution
further than they are now restricted as
to age, nativity, &a. It may happen
in the future history of tbe country ,
tbat to change an Executive because he
has been eight jears in office wilt prove
unfortunate if not disastrous. , Tbe
idea tbat any man could elect himself
President, or even renominate himself,
is preposterous. It is a reflection upon
tbe intelligence atld patriotism of tbe
people to suppose such a thing possible, i
Any man cau destroy bis cbanoes for
tbe office, but no one can force an elec
tion, or even a nomination.
To recapitulate : 1 am not, nor have
I ever been a candidate for a rcnotui
natiou. 1 would not accept a nomina
tion if it were tendered, unless it should
come under such circumstances as to
make it an imperative duty circura
stances not likely to arise. 1 congrat
ulate tbe Convention over which you
presided for tbe harmony which pre
vailed, and for the excellent ticket put
in the field, and ' which I hope way be
triumphantly elected. Witb great re
spect, your obedient servant,'
