It renuireft lully day for aflalrs to settle so that a calm view could fe* taken of the situation. By yesterdav all hart re covered from the staggering blow administered by tao people to the politicians, and those who had taken part on eltuer side had settled down ?tain to their ordinary avocations. The election ?ad the disaster to the Tammany powers were Milked over quietly and gleefully in the business marts, and by parties on their way to and from ?ostites* the only question was as to how much ma jority did such a one have for this, that or the other a complete fejojCiutf^fri^F ffraotjf nftS ?ot been known or witnessed in this city for years put, AMONG TUB POLITICIANS ?r the Thinmany stripe? or, rather, lately or that itripe (very lew could be found who had roted the Tammany ticket)? there was a gene ral and genuine expression or disgust. Among the most dlsoonsolate, however, aro the members or the Boards or Aldermen and assistant Aldermen. They are very loud In their tomplamis, and, feeling very "sore," are showing Ifeelr teeth against the leaders, and evidently moan trtKhief. One or the confidential Mends of a mem ber of the Board in malting a complaint to a friend ftaterday demonstrated very clearly that fi ??Why, loo* here," said he, "the members had to pAj a couple of thousand each to have the bill pat through extnndlnj their term of office. They were told by Ball and Sweeny that It was all right, and were assured that the Mayor would reappoint them "on the qnler," Just to make them secure; then at tae last minute he says wo must go on the ticket; then when they saw the way tniuga were golug Hall sent a messenger around hunting them up aud telling them to look out well to the Aide manic etj aa the rest was gone.

Just you wait A days aud you'll see some fun. Walt till the re port or the Jotnt Committee comes out; may bo wmebody's eyes won't be opened I" from the above It may be judged that there is trouble brewing, and that THE LAUNDRY FOB DIRTY MNEN pay soon be opened aim carried on with a good run of Easiness. There uinst undoubtedly tie stock enough to give all hands employment, ami while the late lead ers quarrel among themselves the public can look andlautilior grieve, as the c<*ae may be. The aues have fallen out, and it is to be hoped that the Maying may prove true and hones' uion get their dues. In relation to the situation and the complications ?rising therefrom RUMORS WERE RIFB ?round the public office*, and, as Is always the case, by the way, grew in number aud magnitude as they travelled about. ?Tweedy lias resigued, sure," said one of a crowd or semi-genteel looking men who were ?tanuing in the City Hall l ark, "and we're gone up. Let's go over to the Department and see it we're sola' to git any filing, (men wont give tt to us. They started across the Park toward Park place, when one bystander asked another, "What are they, laborers 7" ??Noa, xur; thar not. Thar axe mln." ??Axe men? What does that meauv What do tfcey do for their money f" "p not do who do r" ?Those fcllows-the axe men." **Pby, tna axes id." The expression that Tweed had resigned, "sure," ?a the chap above alluded to observed, seemed to i>e pretty generally credited, notwithstanding tho flat iontraulriions given to tho statement. In the morn tag papers. Another rumor was started, to the ?nct that Mayor Hail would resign, aud it was vely asaeried that JUUUB llll.TON W:i,I.

It was Mated also that Hank biniltl intended to get out of the Police Board; that Hitch ?tan was leeliug bod and would leave the Kire l>e Brtment. it was rumored lurther that Co.onet berte would possibly bo appointed on the Park Commission, as he has lost some seventy-live thou sand dollars by the action or Hie authorities in tak ing bis property for the Riverside I'ark. iDgenoil was arrested, according to rumor, fnlly twenty times yesterday; out, according to tlto urbane and natty Judsou Jarvls, he had not been arrested, aud was supposed to be at his summer realdeuce in Morrlstowu or Orange, N.

The order had beeu returned With the endorsement "Not found," and no lurther eteps bad been taken in the matter.

Tbe Prmoal wnd Fnmro l.o**l Action or Mr. O'Conor ill to Tweed and tbe City Fraud* U?De?lly-Wfni lit Think* of the JKiection* from it Political Point of View. Mr. Charles O'Conor was at his office yesterday, but as quietly Industrious aa though the election with Its great triumph had not taken place. A nBHALD reporter called upon him in the morning with a view of learning whether recent events would make any difference in the conduct of the legal proceedings now pending sciinst city officials charged with fraud. T!ie object of the reporter's ?iMt havlnj oecn stated, Mr. O'Oonor said:? '?l tiave no intention to relax any or tne legal pro ceedings taken against Mr. Tweed and others, ou the contrary, they wui be punned with the same determination tbat we bave shown hichorto. These frauds are not a question of party or of elections, but of a vindication of the honor of the State and city." '?von, of course, bave heard the rumor of Tweed's resignation of the Commlssionership or the Depart ment of Public Works, Mr. O'Conor. Is there any foundation, as far as you know, for this rumor V "Yes, I heard the rumor last night; I don't kfidW whether the Mayor deuieB the resignation of Tweed, but be ought to know whether Mr. Tweed has fol lowed, or is likely to follow, the example of Mr. Sweeny." "I believe the Mayor has J19 knowledge of the resignation, either actual or intended. He gave one of our reporters so to understand yesterday.'? ??Well, the Mayor would knofr, certainly, and probably do^" "Yon, oTcourse, have also heard of the rumor abont 'i weed's flight from tho dry and his voyage to Europe?" '?Yes, that I heard also; but of coons it is not true. Though if taat were the case it would not make much pructieai difference as far as his prose* cutlon for theso irauds is concerned. "I may inter 110m that, 1 presume, that both Tweed's offences ana the vigor of tho prosecution would enable any extradition law to be put into effect?" "Yes; I don't think Tweed will escape punish ment In that way, and 1 should think he knows that." "is not Tweed a large owner of real estate; and is not his property generally of a character that could not be turned into available cash very speed Is so; but desperate emergencies require desperate means, and this may possibly be Mr. Tweed's position; and he may think It desirable to make sacrlfces in tbat direction rather than run any further risks. "Putting the consideration of the civil actions against Tw eed for fraud out of tbe question for a moment, l supnoee Tweed is not lixely to take his Senatorial scat in the noxt Legislature. "certainly not. 1 don't Intend to move against him iu that direction by bringing the action of his frauds as u barrier. The informalities that have been committed in bis Senatorial district during the election, and wnich have secured his return, are quite sufficient to unseat nlin. A very little irregu larity suttlcc3 for that; but Tweed's friends have been largely and grossly irregular at the election." "1 presume the same mar be said about Corpo ration Attorney Fields "1 don't know *n;tn|ng about the election re turns ofbh district, nut 1 do know that he will never take ms scat in tbe Assembly, lie has done quite enough to prevent that." *?rho election is a won lrous triumph on the part of the people, Mr. O'Conor, and must have been a surprise to the reform party." "Yes, i think there is not a man or any party but what must have been greatly surprised at the result. The time for tho creation of public opinion was so ehori that a result Uke that achieved on Tuesday could uoi have been expected by any calcu lation of !lw ordinary probabilities." "2fOW aojm ucconnt for so signal a defeat of Sbandley? I '?e man most snrprtsed at bis election must KtV- been General Slgel. Did the fact or Shandiey associating with Tweed defeat bim j" "Not id rf'tScVniii i thlnf.M sn&ndley's tflftunct at Rochester, lie ftfid a baud oi 9lben tyST? under the name o. lite 'Shandley Lfiglou," and I think t lie n66ple feme mbe rod that. This, I think, did Shandley more harm than anything else." "Have you any apprehensions that the large republican majority in the Legislature will result in party legislation to any extent?'' "Well. 1 am not in their counoils, and therefore don't know what they may intend; but of this I am certain, that every republican elected is determined to unite with the democrats in stamping out these disgraceful frauds." ?a don't know whether yon have noticed, Mr. O'Conor, the city vote, but you will see that there Is a very large republican vote brought out in the city -indeed so large that it would seem tbat the cltv, if tbe full vote were polled, under the present excitement, might tie epubllcan." "Welt, better be republican than allow these dreadful frauds and thtevlngs to go on to the ruin ous extent ther have been going ou." "The Senate will have some Kood men in It now, ami the throwing out of Morton and Genet Is greatly helpi ul In that direction." "Yes, talking about N01 ton reminds me what an old man said to me the other day, thai the last honest occupation Norton was engaged In was door keeper to a dog pit." "I believe that is so. Mr. O'Conor. I have heard that that was the kind of social position he* occupied belore he went into politics. I am told that he has been nearly ruined bv this election, and that Utiand fey, too, has lost ail that he is worth." ?'Well, these men lake great chances and they must be content to abide by the result. They are very desperate, but the people have shown them this time they can bo desperate too. The victory so far ought to be the prtdo or every honest man In the city. I'bts talk Is very pleasant, but I am so very busy that 1 must now Bay good day and go to work again." "Don't let me detain you from such commendable employment for one moment. I am mucn obliged for tho privilege of this conversation. Good day, sir." WHAT TWEED HAS DOSE ABOUT IT. He Ilitn Not Not Mailed for Knrope- Won't K??i?n J nut Vrt-Whst lie f**y? About Unseuting lllm?

A Herald reporter yesterday leisurely climbed the stairs leading to tbe Department of Fnbllc Works In search of occular evidence or ?'Hons" Tweed's presence in this city of corruption, muni cipal correction and ridiculous minora. At tbe hesd of the second flight, gathered at>ont tbe door, were four or Ave weil-dresscd ponton*, whose be havior and absence of diamonds showed tnat they were WOT or THI STRIKER CLASP, who, the public have been led to believe by sensa tional writer*, stand guard night and day over tbe body of Tweed and bask in his smiles. A moment later a gentleman passed out and another passed in, an J theu came Judge Dowling, looking as fresh as a recently hooked trout, ana qnlto as active. Into the fanct um tanctorum of tne Tammany Sachem Dowling waa hurried by tbe polite messen ger, who guarded tbe "holiest of holies, and for a brief season all waa quiet along tbe line of tbe haii. A card was deposited by the reporter in the hand of the messenger, who disappeared, and a moment later tbe big bell of Tweed sounded tbo signal "Ready for the next searcher after an Interview." A quiet wave or tbe messenger's band notified tbe reporter that "TM MAN WHO BAILED ON TBI RUSSIA" on Wednesday for Earope, after resigning bis office of rreslaent of the Board of Pubiio Works, was awaiting the reporter's presence. Tbe door swung open, and, passing several waiting for an audience, the roporter stood in the preaence of the Senator elect for the Fonrtb district. As be entered Sachem Tweed arose, and with a smile extended bis hand, and said, "Sit down, j I didn't sail on the Russia." These 376 pounds of POLITICS, MU3CLB, FLUSH AMD BLOOD dropped gracefully into a seat and laughed beartllv at the idea of his European tour, while the reporter was cogitating as to what had beeone of Dowling tbe terrible. A rapid glance showed that he waa not In the interior rveaa, and the reporter tunpi oioiiHly examined the floor for a trap door through which Judicious JosepQ couUl nave made tola exit anotuerveo. "Haiieti on the Russia exclaimed the Boss, as he shook from toe to hair with laugliter. "What next? A BALLOON EXCURSION TO TIIK NORTH POLB, KU l" "80 you are not me man who sailed, Mr* Tweed, eh?" said the reporter. "It was so reported, but If jou left yesterday you've had a muck passage, or n>etuinks l see a very big gnost of a very big and very livo chief of the Wigwam." "You're felt tuy grasp lust now. Was it ghost like "No; I ran? confess it is the old, genuine saluta tion; but tell me, .Mr. Tweed, how did you get back so soon I'm in a deuce of a quandary to fiud now yon came here n YOU I'ASSRD TUB HOOK outward bound yesterday." "Well, It's a secret," and the old chnr bent over and in an undertone and with a wicked twinkle playing In his a/.urceve remarked:? "I'll tell yon. Yesterday 1 was In the Board of Apportionment as late aa three o'clock, and? didn't sail at all. Ha: ha! You know how these reports fly about." Again the (senator's ponderous body shook with laughter. "We?i, senator, as yon're in the flesh still, what are you going to do about it?" "now?" "Why, a i tout restgulng. It la said jou have re Hlgued. Is It sot" Mr. Tweed drew himself up and assumed a dig nified demeanor:? "Me resigned r No. sir; not quite yet." The laugh again cAme iu. "Why, you seem to oe In a Jolly humor this morn ing. Bui no you intend to resign y" NO, SIR, 1 UAVB,N0r KKfllONED, nor do I intend to w?[ >.ssdi.'l "Ymf^Wfiinor TIkcIJ resign pending this suit against you, I suppose "ilaraiy. Thai depends bpon how long it lasts." "O'Donovan ltossa's vanquisher smiled again and continued:? "No, not now. 1 am in no hurry about resign to change the subject, Mr. Tweed, will there be any attempt by Rossa to CONTEST YOUIl BRAT?" "I have not heard wiiat his luteutlons are." Mr. Tweed looked grave for the first time, and Dowllng suddenly threw open a dcor and took a seat in an Inner office. "Well, what would bo the course of the Senate If It desires to unseat you'," "They can attempt to impeach me." "For alleged acts anterior to this election?" "Yes; lor any act that two-thirds of the Senate may think me guilty or. They can expel a member at any time bv a two-third vote." ??Do you think they will attempt it in the event of your vindication in the coming trial v" "j hey may but IT MIGHT NOT UK POLIO* for them to dow' "How about the amendment of the complaint lodged against v mi I "I see by the press that the papers have been re called, but as I have not seen tae counsel having charge of the case 1 know not the reason."

"Jt la sa reportedj"^ ??jiy counsel has not Informed mo of It, and 1 do not know what it can rofer to.'! i "Well, said the reporter, rising, "you seem to lose no flesh; you sleep well, eli?" "Splendidly." "And your appetite Is not seriously Impaired "Not at all." "And you didn't resign nor sail the broad sea ovor "Not yet, If I know myself." "There is an old saviug, "Laugh and grow rat." Judging from your humor to-dav 1 should stvy your avoudupol8c is on the increase." The auswor was a smile; tne bell sounded, LOIUN INUXRSOLL stalked Into the presence of Air. Tweed and the re porter stalked out. At tne door four or five persons wero congregated. One asked hint. "Has tue Boss resigned "No,'' was the response. "Is he going to "No; not yet." The interrogator turned to his companions with th? exclamation "Didn't I.teil yer so TBI! OLD MAN'LL COMB OtT ALL RhlRT yet. If he's guilty he'd *gct,' like (Jarvev and In gersoil. He's Innocent; he's game. Bully lor the Boss." The reporter walked down stairs, and his deduc tions from the interview are:? first? Tweed didn't sail on the Russia, Wednes? day. Second? Tweed fibs furiously if he has resigned. iKird? Tweed don't Intend to resign just yet, or he prevaricates. fourth? Tweed Intends to take his seat at Albany. Fifth Tweed grows fat on tils alleged tailing lor tnnes. Sixth? Tweed, If ho bo the "big stealer" that is rliaraed, is the most non-committal stealer In (een bin habit lor many years, tno brilliant example of the "Boss," lie determined to face ibe danger and await tho result ot the action of the courts? tne bluu game to the last, Mr. Judson Jarvis, the Deputy HUerlft in charge of the order of Arrest Denaitment, stepped over to Fields' office and at once arrested thai distinguished patriot and took the oilered bail.

The warrant which was Issned sometime since against Mr. Albert A. Woodward expired last Satur day witnont that gentleman baling been found. Knowing this fact a representative of the Herald called at tbe SbenlTs office yesterday afternoon and Inquired of Mr. Judson Jarvis, tho arrest deputy, what action was likely to be taken with reference to tno matter. Mr. Jarvis said that tbe order of arrest hail been returned to him by the officer to whom It had been given tor service, and that as the case now stood he did not know what lurtner seeps would be taKen. Mr. Woodward, he believed, wan not in town, but us regards his whereabouts he wan perfectly ignorant. As the matter cow stands ho (Jarvis) was without any authority to arrest him, even though he should walk Into his office at anv moment, in order to secure hlui when he does return to the city a new order of arrest will have to be issued by some one of the Judges of tho Su preme court. Woodward's mends say that he is expected hack daily, and that whon he arrives ha will mo-t undoubtedly auxrender n.iuseif to the authorities.
