HALL 1N LONDON—TWEED—WIIAT TILDFN Is
DOING —AN Ermnmc or CRIME—FASHIONS
—EA5TER.
New YORK, April 9, .1877
~ DEAR GAZETTE :— _.
0akey Hall' has been found, and it is as I
wrote last week, he is in London, and the
reason for his being there, is what I said. He
was complicated with the Ring, though he
has so covered his tracks that he has been
living for some years in tolerable security.
The return ‘ of- Sweeny, and 'the consequent
disclosures of the inside secrets of that gigan-
tic sWindlc could not but involve him and put
him in the same category of the worst of the
lot. This, with social complications, which,
in plain English means that he has been keep-
ing women other than his wife, and has been
living secretly an exceedingly disreputable
life, while attempting to keep up the status
of a gentleman, all of which he knew while
the world was in ignorance of it, but which
the confessions of Tweed would bring to the
surface, so weighed upon him that he prefer-
red to get out, abandon everything, and ‘ go
into exile, rather than face the friends who
had so long stood by him, deceived by
his assertions of innocence. And so Oakey .
Hall,ex-Mayor of New York, ruler of the de-
mocracy of this city, and the head and front
of the respectable portion of the clique that
has plundered *w York so long, is in Lon-
don in disguise, and the mere sport Of a
cheap actress who will hang to him as long
as he has any portion of the monev he stole,
and will desert him the moment it is gone.
Oakey Hall passes into history as an excellent
sample of a man who has opportunities, but
who preferred present pleasure to permanent
success. With ability sufficient to command
any place and any positiou,he permitted wine,
women and the attendant pleasures of the
moment to lead him into excesses, which has
ended as it always has and always will. I
cannot commend to the youth who read this
a more instructive example. Honesty and
decency, in the long run, always pay better
than thesummer pleasures that follow a career
like Oakcy Hall’s. Such a summer is always
followed by a long and very dreary winter.
Oakey Hall will, in a year from now, be bor-
rowings dollar or two from chance Americans
in London to pay for the miserable bed he
will be sleeping in. And such men always
end in that way.
TWEED
has got tired of being followed by the law
and is making a compromise. He has told
all he knows about his escape and the swindle,
and a very interesting chapter it is. He lived
in a fisherman’s hut in New Jersey 5 he lived
iu-the Everglades Of Florida; he went hither
and you, a fugitive and wanderer up and
down the carthJ‘Iill, Sick and tired, he want-
ed nothing so much as to be allowed to quit
his wanderings‘and settle down to a quiet life
out of jail. He has been hunted up and,
down the earth, branded as a criminal, till,
weary and faint, he wanted peace. And so
be permitted himself to be taken, and came
home, made his statement and accepted
terms. I He turns over to the city' all that is
left of the money he and his coadjutors stole,
and will be permitted to go out and live un-
molested. The great king is- now a poor Old
man, with no money to speak of and no
power, a pastthat he'darcs not look back
upon and no future at all. There are a thou-
sand draymen in the city who are better off
than he, and who could not afford to change
places with him.
WHAT TILDEN IS DOING.
Whatever may be the upshot of it, there is
no doubt thatrthe arch conspirator, Tilden,
wishes very much to make another effort for
the presidency. He never intended that the
verdict of the joint commission should be
final, if it was adverse to him; and had the
administration of Hayes been less popular he
would have commenced proceedings long ago
in the supreme court. It is certain that he
has goneso far as to have skilled attorneys
draw up the papers necessary to contest the
election, and proceedings will be commenced
if the temper of the public should change,
and become adverse to the present adminis-
tration. Tilden staked his all upon the pres.
idency, and has by no means relinquished
his hopes. Beaten at the polls, beaten by a
joint commission of his own making, he still
thinks he sees a way, through the courts, to
gain the ambition of ‘his life; and he will
make the effort if he gets the slightest show.
If President Haycs’ policy makes the slight-
est fecling—if’hny party is formed against
him, Mr. Tildeu proposes to move on him
through the courts,and try what legal chican-
ery can do to make him president. The pa-
pers were all prepared some weeks ago, at
Tilden’s house in Gramercy Park, and are ‘
now in Washington, to he used if occasion
offers. Morrisscy is in it, but fortunately, if
it goes into the coui-ts,the case will be beyond
the reach of money or the peculiar influences
which Mr. Morrisscy knows best how to
wield. '
CRIME.
There is an epidemic of crime, which has
taken, this week, more than usually horrible
features. A frail. woman, an inmate of a
fashionable house of ill-fame up-town, was
visited by an unknown man one evening last
week. What ctranspircd in the room will
never be known. The man rushed out, and
was lost in the darkness,—a moment later the
woman appeared at the head. of the stairs
enveloped in flames. She was dressed for the
evening in rich robes of a. Combustible ma-
terial, and the flames had completely envel-
oped her. She had just time to exclaim, “He
set me‘ on fire with a match,” and fell, and
before relief cCuld reach her was burned to
death. This was followed by another mystery.
One of the oldest and richest firms in the city is
that of the Jewitts, lead manufacturers. The
juniOr member is a nephew of the senior, and
is a peculiarly excitable man,so much so that
it was deemed advisable by his partners to
buy him out, andthc papers necessary had
been drawn. Thursday morning, an explo-
sion was heard in 'the private office, and the
room was dicovered to be on fire. The cm-
ployccs of the house rushed to the room and
found the senior dead, the junior mortally
wounded, and the other member badly
w'ounded and unconscious. There were re-
volvers and knives on the floor, and the frag-
ments of a hand grenadeLwhich doubtless
had exploded, killed the' mo and wounded
the other. It is all a great mystery,
Doubtless young J ewett, the nephew, did the
work with the hand grenade, for there are no
pistol or knife wounds on the bodies of him-
Sle, his uncle or the other member of the
firm. Two such singular crimes seldom oc- .
our in one week. ‘

Light cheviots, and plain hunting at fifty '

costing three dollars a yard, are made into

of silk galoons for trimming has brought out
an inexpensive wool galoon brocaded in col-
ors, which is quite as handsome for ordinary
purposes. ‘ The bunting dresses almost put

as appropriately by making the hearts of
thlair poorer members glad with serv1ceable
gifts. One church voted that every member
should be given on Easter morning,a package
containing apound of coerc, a,pound Of tea,
five pounds of beef, four pounds of sugar,
and fifteen yards Of calico. Of course this
was all paid for by the rich members, but as
they filed out of the church, every member,
rich or poor, took the package he or she was
entitled to. The poor members were not put
out of cunntenance, and the rich ones sent
their packages afterward to the poor that they
preferred. It was very neatand ‘ccil’igdggue.
