IL was currently rumored yesterday that Comp
roller Connolly would certainly be released from the
Ludlow street Bastile during the day, but the bail
bonds not having been filed out he was obliged TO

the matter Of his bail was being arranged steadily
and privately and would probably have been com.
pleted yesterday had Congressman William h.
Roberts returned from Washington. He was ex-
pected to arrive last night and to-day sign the new
bond complete the amount OF bail, and III us secure
to the gentleman, who snow regarded as peculiarly
prosecuted, the privilege OF having his
CHRISTMAS DINNER IN HIS OWN HOUSE
OF Mr. ConnOlly's friends TO have immediate action
taken IN the M5deneanOr cases and thus secure
his liberty until the trials come on. In anlcpat ion
OF ms release large number or Ills friends called
at The Ludlow street temple Yesterday and last
eveNng to Congratulate him. Mr.. Connolly looked
much more cheerful than he had FOR some days past
His recent lndsposition IL passing away, but his
confinement has undoubtedly lett traces OF care On
his formerly placid brow.
