VIM. VI. Tweed, the Tammanyite leader,
was indicted by the Grand jury of New York,
on the 18th, for felony, and placed under ar
rest. He was kept rs a prisoner over night
at the Metropolitan Hotel. The following is
the telcgraphie account of the proceedings
on the 10TH
when Tweed appeared Mt the Court of Sessions
to-day he looked pale and crestfallen. He tried
vainly to smile pleasantly when q friend grasped
his hand His face had all the appearance Of a
man who was completely scared. The air Of pleas
antTy he tried TO assume made him look all the
more ridiculous. Politicians Of all classes densely
crowded the court room. As Tweed entered his
adherents uiscd cheer in his favor but the cheers
were soon drowned by the Kisses Of his opponents
Upon the entrance Of Mr. O'COnOr he was greeted
with cheers Mr.. Twccd's counsel was taken greatly
by surprise when Judge Bedford announced that
the prisoner was committed without bail, John
, Graham at once declaring that they denied the
right Of the court to commit in that manner. The
writ Of hGbeds cDT1s granted by Judge Barnard in-
tercepted Tweed ON his way to the city prison, and
he was forthwith brought back TO the supreme
Court room, where an excited crowd was gathered.
detachment OF police was then called
upon to keep order. Mr. Graham opened the
cdsc nv stating that Tweed had heen indicted
in the General Sessions for an Ofense for which
the punishment was but three years imprisonment
and fine Of $1,000 Judge Barnard interrupted
Mr.. Graham in his remarks, which referred to
Twced's defense saying he could hear counsel
only upon the point Of admitting prisoner TO bail.
Mr.. OCOnOr followed, cOnending that Tweed
should be held in such bail was justified by the
magnitude Of the crime. When the counsel had
concluded, Judge Barnard said it would never do
TO refuse TO admit man to bail charged with a
criminal ohense. This charge is the highest of
fense, but see nothing TO justify any departure
from the ordinary course OF procedure, and order,
therefore, that he be hailed in the sum OF 5000.
Alfred B. Sands was then accepted as sole bonds
man."
The indignation against Barnard for re-
leasing Tweed on so small hail was wide
spread and profound, and charges of direct
bribery were freely made.

Albany, in an opinion rendered on the 18th,
decided to reduce the bail of Comptroller

The parade of Internationals came of in
New York city on the 11th, and proved a
success. The telegraph says the occasion
was regarded not as a mark Of sympathy for
the cause in which Rossel and his comrades
suffered, but as triumph over the Police
Commissioners.
At Lagrange, Ind, the case OF Chauncey
Barnes, for the murder of Miss Dwight, n
school mistress, near that place, last June,

was still in Ludlow street jail, was reported
as being quite sick.
A New York dispatch of the 10Th says Peter
b. Sweeney had left the city, and it was be-
lievcd he had absconded to avoid arrest, as It
is thought he was equally guilty with, and
received large share with Tweed in the In
gersoll and Garycy frauds.

II. Seward was very low from paralysis.

motion for new trial.
