ARREST OF BOSS TWEED ON THE CHARGE {

ARREST OF BOSS TWEED ON THE CHARGE OF
FELONY.
New YORK, Dec. 16-Wm. M. Tweed was
arrested last night at the Metropolitan Hotel
where he remained in charge of a sheriff. The
Grand Jury yesterday found bill against him
charging him with committing felony, where
upon the District Attorney notified Charles
O'Conor who, in company with the former Off
Ger, obtained a warrant from Recorder Hackett
for Tweed's arrest. Bail will not be accepted
by the sheriff unless acceptable to Charles
OConor.
Every effort was made by Tweed and his
friends to keep the secret and they were sue
cessful until very late hour.
1t is understood that these proceedings are
based upon affidavits made by Keyser, who is
reported to have been promised immunity in
any prosecutions that may be instituted on con-
dtion that he will bring definite charges against
suspected city officials. Keyser, it is said, came
from South Carolina where he has been STAYING
for his health, few days ago, and the intended
action of the Bureau of Municipal Correction,
for it is from that quarter the complaint is sup
posed to originate, has been kept a profound
secret.
Tweed appeared in court accompanied by
John Graham, ex-Judge Fullerton and David
Dudley Field, as counsel. He was cheered by
friends in the court District Attorney Gar
vim announced his readiness to go on with the
case of Tweed Graham applied for an extern
sion of time to plead Garvin had no objection
to giving a reasonable time, in the meantime
the prisoner being committed in the usual way.
Judge Bedford consented and the time was
granted. Charles O'Conor and Gen. Barlow at
tended in behalf of the people.
When the written order for the commitment
of Tweed was made out, his counsel bitterly
protested that the words without BALI had
been inserpolated and protested against this act
of the District Attorney. Tweed was then COM
mitted to the Tombs without bail
Judge Barnard has granted writ of habeaS
corpus to bring Tweed before him Immediately
on motion that bail be allowed

New York, Dec. 1.-THE parade of the in

Fourth avenues became nearly blocked up,

stir among the masses and soon the solemn
