| NEW YORK.
Meeting at Cooper Institute.
New YORK, December ia public
meeting was held at Cooper Institute
last evening to consider the bearing OF
the treaty of Washington on the peace
and well-being Of the nations, and espe-
cially on the working classes, through
out the civilized land. Addresses were
made by Chancellor Howard Crosby,
presiding; the Rev. J. B. Miles, of Bos'
ton, and others. Resolutions were also

| The Tammany Leaders.
The attention of the citizens OF New
York is at present united upon the
Grand Jury. 1t is felt everywhere that
the first indictment against Tweed was
only the first move in long series OF
attacks against the Tammany leaders.
Yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury
handed in two indictments, for which
Recorder Hackett made out two bench
warrants. These were handed over to
Sheriff Brennan, but have not yet been
served. The Court Of General Sessions
was crowded yesterday by persons anx-
ious to find out against whom the indict-
ments were made. AS far as can be
ascertained, it is understood that Tweed
and Connolly will move to quash the
indictments found against them ss
illegal. A provision OF the law of 1870
says: "No action shall originate with
the Grand Jury Of the inferior court OF
General Sessions while the Grand Jury
of the higher Court Of Oyer and
Terminer is sitting" The indictments
against Connolly and Tweed were found
under precisely these circumstances.
Mr.. O Conor, Prosecuting Attorney, has
declared this provision of the law to be
merely technical, which could not hold
good before the jury, and has advised
the Grand Jury to continue their lnves-
LEGATIONS without reference to this clause
OF the law.
