"How do you like tht looks of things now!"slid a Sox reporter yesterday to Hherln O'llrien." Things look bright enough," was the reply; "Idon't think wt can complain a bit."
Tbe Hoes Intervituod by the Great Crlnilnnl Lawyer, John (iruhminfrom Mr Ettnlng Matt, Oct. 5.
Mr. Tweed was at his otlice a uood portion ofthe dsy, and was engaged for some time In a privateconference with bis counsel, John Oraham, Esq.,put In sn appearanrt about noon, and was Immedi-ately ushered into the presence of the big chief. Mr.Tweed says he la prepared lor any movement on Hitpart of tht Commltteo of beventy, and la ready to
tXay royb.rJ.ng trains! him lieIs tired, ht says, of this constant threatening, andwould like tu tet some action taken If II It to bedone, lit wants lo get Into the courts, where be canmake a legal defence and silence his accusers.
Ht dots not think bis chancet of reelection atHale benator are lu Iht leatt Jeopardized by IL lapublic clamor, or that they will be imperilled In castof his arrest, He It confident of winning at theelection, and also of winning In any suit broughtagaimt him. He does not Intimate what hit defencewill bo, but sayt that all charges of fraud andawlndllng originate from tbe action of the old Hoardof bupervlsors and tht Hoard of Audit, lie clalmathat ft has a legal defence lor bis official action, at amember of both Hoards.
Whether ilr. Tweed anticipates reslstsnee to awarrant of arrest or cot Is uncertain, but a goodlycrowd of roughs swarmed In the hulls of the Depart,menl of Public Works this morning, and occupiedIhe small ruom adjoining the private offlce of " theIloit."
