New YORK, Oct. 27.-The Times states

all sold or transferred. All his houses and
| lots IN this city are made over to relations
| Over four millions worth of his real estate
has been thus transferred within the past
few days, and yesterday he made over TO
! Richard III. Tweed, his son, real estate TO
! the value of $9T5,000, Including Ghis Fifth
4 avenue residence.
The complaint made against Tweed and
Others before Judge Learned demands a
! judgment for the people of over six million
dollars. Bail in million dollars each is
demanded, Ingersoll, Garvey and Wood
ward have fled, thus leaving Tweed alone
to answer the complaint.
II There was considerable excitement in po-
litical circles last night relative to Tweedlss
arrest, but no trouble is apprehended.

who is to be one of Tweed'S bondsmen, has
left for Tweed's office to execute it.

l. The arrest of. Tweed is talked about all
over the city. The reformers begin to think
the work has been practically commenced
to secure change in the city government
and give to justice its dues. The Tweed
political organizations, which are very
numerous, feel disappointed at tO-day's
action. There is much interest awakened
as the facts developed. Further proceedings
from day to day will be exciting, especially
to the politicians of ali parties. Tweed's
bail was fixed at S2,000,000, and was
promptly furnished. The bondsmen were
carefully examined by the Sheriff. They
are Jay Gould, President of the Erie Rail
way, who qualified for $1,000,0OO; Benz
Fairchild, Tammany auctioneer, qualifying
for 100000; Terrence Farley and Bernard
Kelly, Tammany politicians, each qualifying
for 100000; Hugh j. Hastings, of the
Commercial Adcertiser, qualified for $780,
900.
In the action commenced against Tweed
by the corporation, counsel OGOrman
charged in the complaint that Tweed has
violated his official trusts in the matter of
the settlement of liabilities against the city
while President of the Board of Supervisors,
and guilty of gross frauds upon the city in
securing the payment of fraudulent and cor
rupt claims. The suit is in To name of the
Board of Supervisors, and the complaint,
which has annexed to it various papers con-
tanning the fraudulent acts, demands a re-
covery of the amount unjustly procured by
Tweed.
The Herald thinks it certain that Tweed
will never go to the Senate again, and asks
that he be removed from the commission
ership of the Public Parks.

The Sheriff states that he had orders TO
arrest Ingersoll, WoOdard and Garvey, but
that he had not served the papers, as he
could not find the parties.
One of the Committee Of seventy Am
pIieated.
The resignation of Nathaniel Sands from
the Citizens Association was at the request
of Peter Cooper, who states that Sands
made $4,000 dollars as commissioner for
selling bonds of the city to Belmont and
ROthschilds. Sands defence is that he re-
ceived only half of one per cent. commits
