TWEED TO PLEAD TO-DAY.
In the Court Of Oyer and Terminer, this
morning. VIM NJ Tweed will be called upon TO plead to
ono of the indictments brought against him year ago.
What indictment has been chosen not known In
yersaton with TRIBUNE reporter Saturday Mr..
Tweed stated to be his intention TO plead and the trial
will, as a consequence, begin at once.
Last week motion made before Judge ingalls, at
Troy change the place OF trial In the civil suit against
Tweed from Albany to NewYorK County, the ground
that Tweed public officer, and therefore by the
provisions OF the Code entitled to have the trial in the
county where resides. The motion involves not
question Of convenience of witnesses but Of absolute
right. The motion was argued by David Dudley Field
and Elihu Root for Tweed, and by Wheeler H. Peckham
for the people The decision has not yet been rendered
JUDGE CURTIS BEFORE THE SENATE.
To-day is set apart for the trial of the
charges against Judge George N Curtis of the Marine
Court made several months ago by the Bar Association
The trial has been postponed from time to tme and
there ia little probability that it will be taken up
It is said that the abuses complained OF have been in
large measure corrected since fate overlook Barnard
Cardozo and McCunn, and that all the Judges of that
Court have since been crcumspect. Tie trial will
long and tedious and the Senate evinces in
disposition to waste time. 1t is generally known that
bills have been prepared for submission to tho next
Legislature, reorganzng the Police aud Marine Courts
aud legislatlng all the present Judges out OF office at
Senator's therefore, conclude that to waste whole
month in trying tedious like that OF Judge Curtis
involving 1t does OF corrupt
practices in all the Courts, viii be neither wise
profitable.
