New York, ".The confession and restitution last night, by Keyscr, is deemed a wo.t imiimhuit su.'p, whuily unexpected, as a means of enabling the committee of seventy to obtain oilier proofs. His admission j-, that in ,-cveral years' employment by the cny, he ha. received a quarter of a millii'ii of dollars, I'm' which hj has done little work; hm, he declared that his "nature "na-ture U many vouchers lhr exhorbitatit sums has been Ibrgud ; and in manv instances he had been compelled to assign his chums before he could receive re-ceive pay. This confession will probably proba-bly secure him immunity from punishment. punish-ment. Others of the implicated tradesmen trades-men are expected to take alike course. Tho coiumitteo. following out their determination for the prosecution of the thieves, demand the governor to forthwith order the attorney-general to commence the required proceedings, and they will employ cuun.-cl to a.JLl in the work. Laic county auditor Watson L supposed to be the person who altered Keytcr's vouchers. The opinion is gaining ground that jud"e Barnard will di-iui-s th? present L-ratid jury. Unless this is doue, the"" proceeding pro-ceeding j against the perpetrators of the frauds will result iu nothing. Evi- ' deuce of tho most startling character i is accumulating; but the commit-' tee of seventy lind difHeuhtcs in their war. Parties giving evidence evi-dence expect it wii! cost thcin their salaries, and desire to be provi- , ded with other situations. Tins the committee hesitate to do. Tho Uaald offers to advance the city treasury one ' hundred thousand dollars towards car- . rying on tho government until taxes come in. Tweed says there i-. a J:-crepaney J:-crepaney between the 0i comptroller ;ree:i, as io i ho limnh ial condition of the departun'ia of w,.rk and his own; and that there .-hall be no stoppage of the works of the department. de-partment. He intends to t:ke care of his department, and will individually pay bis men rather than son iheui suffer. |
