The fact that Tweed will soon bo on his native shores again iLduces the State Department to make public all that it knows of his escape and capture which, compiled from official records, is to the following enect. Iwaeaes caped Irom New York in a (schooner, and was landed in a small boat from this schooner in ah obscure spot, known as fishing 'town, ten miles south of Santiago do Cuba. The vessel that brought Tweed from New York merely put into tho small port lor the purpose ot landing 1 weea ana a young man who accompanied him. Alter the two were placed on shore the small boat returned to tho schoon er, whoso name is unknown to the officials, when she headed about and put out to the sea again. A Cuban fisherman witnessed TI1E SECRET LANDING Of these two men, and at once sus pected them of bein? men coming with aid and comlort for the Cuban insurgents. Tho suspicious ot in fisherman were still lurlher increased by the two men approaching in n .. offering him a considerable sum money to convey thi m over to S.m ago de Cuba, where they wished go. Ho complied with their r. quest, pocketed their money, an. i '.loyally turned them over to th ' " l' nthorities as suspicion vho had landed upon tin i a secret manner thai ,3.ice certainly demanded pianation. Tweed ana his com ' uuion asserted that they were trav eling for their health, but told s many conflicting stories as to still further accumulate suspicion against them. Tweed also exhibited pass ports made out at the State 'Depart ment at Washington for himself un der the name of Secor and Hunt foi his companion, and which appear tc have been obtained sometime befoiv Tweed's escape. Tweed saidjie wai a citizen of Florida and his passport confirmed him, aid he was VERY INDIGNANT AT HIS ARREST. Notwithstanding his explanations and his passports, he was placed in the custody of the admiral of the Spanish fleetrat Santiago de Cuba, it being thought that as Tweed was captured while traveling by sea In belonged us a matter of right to tho naval authorities. Tho American consul at Santiago do Cuba, Alfred N. Young, reported all tho facts ol tho capture of these American citi zens to Consul General Hall at Ha vana. Hall at onco reported by tele graph to the State Department here all the facts in the case as they had been sent to him. The State De partment at onco examined its records and found that the passports referred to were regular, and had been "ob tained, as the records showed, in due lorm. It then occurred to Secretary Fish, who was familiar with the many sensational stories that had been published in New York con cerning Tweed's escape, that those two men, Secor and Hunt, might be tho missing ones. He at once sent on a photograph of Tweed to Hall to have Secor, if possible, indentilied. This of course occupied some time, but Tweed was meanwhile kept in custody. Promptly upon tho receipt of Tweed's photograph Hall dis patched it to Santiago de Cuba, where loungatonce ISDENTIFIKD TWEED. Hill then' telegraphed to Secretary Fish that the man calling himself Secor was Tweed, and asked for in structions. Secretary Fish at once sent back word to the Consul Gene ral to go to the Captain General Jo vellar and present to him a full state ment of the case, and request the Spanish Government deliver him up to the United States authorities. To this Jovellar replied that it would give him much pleasure to grant the request. He at once issued an order addressed to the Admiral or the Spanish Fleet requesting him to turn Tweed over to the Consul Gen eral at Havana, who was to hold him in custody until a United States ves sel could be sent for him. Secretary Fish recounted to Robeson what had been done, and the latter . directed a war vessel lying at Port Royal, South Carolina, to go to Havana for Tweed. But meanwhile it seems that Tweed had strong friends iu Cuba, who aid ed him in AGAIN MAKING II 18 ESCAPE. An influential resident ot Santiago de cuba, not a Spaniard or an Ameri can, whose name is withheld by the State Department, wa instrumental in persuading the Spanish Admiral to release Tweed upon his parole to visit Santiago de Cuba. Of course he violated his parole at once and again escaped. Consul Young then found ont which way be bad gone, r ' t.n l., 1 - 4 . .t ttUU I.U4I.

This was in accord ancs wivl Jovellar's demand, and was regarded here as satisfactory, as it made Tweed's CAPTtBB A MERE QUESTION OF TIME. The very day that the news arrived hero of the arrival of the Carmen at Vigo' and Tweed's arrest information was received at tho Navy Depart ment that the United States steamer Franklin was at Gibraltar, upou tho eve of departing upon a homeward cruise. Instructions were at once cabled to her officers to proceed to Vigo and take Tweed on board and bring him along. It is supposed that Tweed's companion is his nephew, al though that point is of secondary im portance to the State Department, and no further information concern ing him has been sought. The passport which was obtained for Tweed in tho name of Secor accu rately describes him, and was grant ed upon application by letter of So cor,who wrote that he was a citizen of Florida temporarily in New York, and desired to go abroad. CHAMPAGNE TOO MUCH. Hint on ilir decent Indian Cant pulzn -Tin- Army Had Lost No In (IIiiiin and Hid Not Want o Find Any. "Buffalo Bill." (Mr. William Codv.) the faraotis scout, has boen telling the correspondent of tho Chicago Tribune some curious stones which may throw a few rays of light upon the Indian campaign : He said phinly that the soldiers did not want or intend to fight ; that he had worn himself out finding In dians, and when ho did discover their whereabouts thero was no one ready to "go for them." To use his own language there was no one connected with the army had lost any Indians, and consequently they were not go ing to hunt for any. He said he had pointed out fresh trails, and they had been pooh-poohed as old and when ho reported bodies of the enemy, no troops could bo got ready until all hope ot pursuit had faded away. This and much more to the same effect, fell from tho lips of the noted scout, who seemed untiring and outspoken in his denunciation of tho entire business. Were his stories uncorroborated, there would be some excuso for pars ing them by or attributing them to excess of vindictiveness consequent upon some real or imaginary affront ; bu, unfortunately they are fully con firmed by the Indian scouts employ edCrows, Rees and Mandans; these all tell tho same tale that they found 'much Sioux" often, and that there was no fighting. Many are outspoken in the opin:o that one of the causes of the fai m has been intemperance; and thero nr circumstances which go to givecolm if not confirmation, to this outside o direct evidence. I should lik to rui over the freight bills of the Norther Pacific Railroad, and find out ju how inuo;i whiskey, ale and wino n been shipped to Bufor 1 and the Yel lowstone country this Summer by C. Leigh ton, post trader at Butord, and Whiting & Co., post traders at Lincoln, and by the commissary nnd medical departments. I do not be lieve halt a dozen boats have come up the river that have not brought g of this description among their goes. One man in the employ trader said that the line of Terry's march could be followed by the trail of empty champagne bottles. Anoth er, also in a trader's employ, told me that one evening he had opened in the officer's department of the trader's tent one hundred and eighty-seven bottles of ale, besides whiskey and wines A .Tfodexl nan. The modest man ot America lives in Rochester, New York, and has given the valuable museums to the University of Virginia and Washing ton and Lee University. The rector of the University of Virginia wished to have a life-size, portrait of their benefactor, to be placed in the muse um hall after the donor shall have passed away, or when be may have decided to permit his name to be made public. Mr. replied that he was an obscure man, and did not wish to have his oaracassociated with that of the great Thomas Jefferson, of whom he was an enthusiastic admirer hu thought it would favor of pre sumption. He further expressed hi intention to make the museum" ot the University of Virginia the mot ex tensive and valuable in America. Thero will be expended on it 870,000, and it U estimated that it will take $20,000 to carry out the deeign ot the donor with regard to the Wash - irglcn aad Lte University.

Should the successful candidate owe his triumpth to his having re ceived the favors ot a small state or two, ho would not stand alone in the list, for more than one man has been made President of the Unitod Slates by a meagre majority cast' either in the Electoral Colleges or at the polls, or at both places. Our first contest ed presidential election, in 1790-7, was decided so closely that tho change ot two electoral votes would have placed Thomas Jefferson, instead of John Adams, at the head ot the na tion, as Washington's immediate sic cessor. Mr. Adams had seventy one votis, and Mr. Jefferson sixty eight. One of Mr. Adams' votes c ime from Virginia, and another from North Carolina, and had these two vot s been given for Mr. Jefferson, hu would have had 70 votes, and Mr. Adams 69 and tho Virginian would havo been elected by ono majority. Ono of the electoral votes for Mr. Ad ams, chosen in Maryland, was obtained by only four majority; and, had it been secured for Mr. Jefferson, he would have had 69 votes, and Mr. Adams 70 and the latter would have been elected by one majority. There were 133 electoral yotes at that lime, and about 47 less than ono half the present number; so that, should the successful candidate on the 7th ct November 1876, roooivo 8 majority in tho Electoral College, ho would be e'eoted about as well us John Adams was olected 80 years sinco. Consid ering what nnd who John Adams was, 8 majority in 187R would bo noth ing to be ashamed of on tho part ot cither of our candidates nnd noth ing to be proud of, it must bo ad ded. Mr. Jefferson defeated Presi dent Adams in 1800-01, when ho had 73 electoral votes nnd tho Prosident 65, or majority of 8, equal to about 20 majority in 1876-77. In 181213, a change of 20 voles in the college would have prevented the re-election ot President Madison, who received 128 electoral votes, while Do Witt Clinton got 89. In 1830-87, Mr. Van Buren would liavo tailed of an election h id there been a change in 23 electoral votes, as ho had about 22 over the number necessary to a choice, and Pennsylvania, having 80 suih votes, gave him but a small popular majority. A change of 3,000 in thai state's popular vote would have de feated him in the colleges, by sending 30 Whig electors to the Pennsylvii nian college. As it was, Colonel Johnson, the Democratio candidate for the Vice-presidency, was defeat ed in the colleges because Virginia would not support him, her 23 votes .being given tor William Smith, ol Alabama. Colonel Johnson was chosen by the Senato, the only in stance of the kind known in our history. Great as wore the popular raajowy and the electoral majority given for General Harrison in 1840 41, he would havo been defeated in the colleges had it been possible to change some eight or nine thousand votes in tho stales of New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, and New Jer sey. Those Mai us cast 88 .electoral votes; which adned to ino ou sucn votes that Mr. Van Buren received, would have given him just tho cum ber necessary to a choice; and yet thero would have been a popular ma jority ot more than 100,000 against him. The four states named gave him a po u'ar vote of almost 900,000 though their united majorities' tor General Harisson did not much ex ceed 16,000 New York giving' him more than 13,000, Now Jeoey about 2,300, Maine 410, and Peniihylvania 313. It was very close work, and thero would have been very great trouble had the Democratic vote been so increased as to defeat General Harrison in , the colleges, after the people had so decidedly indicated their preference for 'him at '.he polls. Some men leared there would bo i pronunciimcnto. At the election of 1841 45, Mr. Polk was chosen to the Presidency through tho aid ot the New York electors, who were J16 in number; and as Mr. Polk had 170 votes, and the number necessary to a choice was 138 the whole number of electors being 275 he would have bad 134 voles, had New York decided against him. Mr. Clay hud 105 votes, and, had he received New York'o vole, ho wovld havo been chosen by 141 votes, or by a majority of only five votes. The Democratic popular majority in New York was email a jout 5,000, we think; s that a m ill changu thero would have Mib aiiluted Mr. Clay for Mr. .Polk as President, and thus h ive changed the whole) current ot our political history for tho last 32 years. The Whigs attributed their del at in the Empire Staio, r-t to the aoi.n of the Liber ty parly in running Mr. Birncy for the Presidency; and kecond'.y, to Demo cratic fraudulent voting in New York Ciiy. It U proh.,b!sf thai they were right, and that tho two thing vi spore than tbt y could stand ; but it never required much to kill the Whigs as polilicans, for they were always on the vorge of committing suicide. In 1813 9, the change of 19 electoral votes would have given the Presidenoy to Gcnornl Csss, as Gene ral Taylor's vote was 1G3, and that of General Cass. 127 ; and some of the Taylor votes wore cot by small ma- joritics. The elections since tou3- do not require particular mention. II IKakc Them Gentle. From th Standard. Thf Radicals for two or three days after tho election, when they believed they had a reasonable excuse to claim a victory for Hayes, were rather blus trous supposing tho Democrats might rosist their legal right to inaugurate Hayes. But since t hey find that they can only gel such a victory through fraud nnd corruption, they havo be oomo the pinks ot pence makors nnd now they want tho people to submit to their frauds, and if they can only get them to acquiesce that is all that is wanted. If the Republicans aro honost and proposo to submit to the verdict of tho people, why Grant's war preparations? What docs that mean ? We are opposed to war, nnd unless the Radicals proposo to carry out the threats they inado beforo the election, there is no danger of nny trouble. But tho people demand their rights nnd they will have them. Radicals said beforo tho election that tho Republicans would not submit if dofealed. It now remains to bo seen whether they propose to carry out their throats. J. B. Allen, member of Congress from Massachusetts, said at Lynn "to stand prepared to prevent by force, if necessary iho inauguration of President Tilden. Senator Pat ter-' son, ot Snuin Carolina, repeatedly made similar assertions. And tho Raleigh, North Carolina, Ncm of Oc tober 2!)lh announces that Mr. R C. Badger, the United Slates District At torney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, asserted in a speech at Newbern that "the United States Senato would refuse to declare Tilden elected it he did receive a majority of the Electoral Collego, and would most certainly reject, vho returns from South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida provided thoso States voted for Til den." Perhaps the human race iuy not lose much if thpse people really undertake to carry their threats ium notion, remarks the New York Wrll: '!They may expect a dec.tnt burial at the hands of a Deiuocr alio Govern ment, lut no oontrint. Ir 'head stones' will be made. All that is iu-c esHiiryin this matter is foi i ho liepuli licans to act Innestly, surrender , the Government to their sticr.s-ors, m I four years hence they can have an up portnnity to try to regain power. .V. danger of war if the, Radumls do n I propone to overthrow the Government and retain power against the will o the people. LSI Ike l'eoplo Think. From the Standard. The Springfield Republican, whirl, supported Mr. Hayes, in its issue ol tho 11th, tays : Though the peopli hiive voted for I'nyi dint, they don't seem to huve elected one. That purl of the business is reserved lor the politicians wlio count tlw Vot.'. The Republican is probably the most independent paper hi tho United Statos, having in the late canvass sup ported Hayes for the Presidency and Charles Francis Adams tor Goxcrnor, and it enn be seen from the above ex tract that it concedes that liiu people have voted for the President, but tho politicians will elect. Thero is a vol ume in thisfcmall extract. Our readers will remember that tho Radicals declared that the elect ion ot Tilden would causo ruin to our finan cial interest and they in ide the best ot the story. The R:puhHcui of thu same dato his the following on this question. Now wW.' h.ei the bminpgs pjnic coiei Ii? Gold ba teeo at IO'J.7 8 uiit.uiiiiiy for u week.
