New YORK, Nov. 25.-Connolly's arrest, to-
day, created quite a fiutter at the City Hall.
Shortly after it became public it was generally
talked about throughout the city. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Brennan in person. Connolly
was taken wholly by surprise. The arrest was
based on the same summons as used in the case
of Tweed, Ingersoll, Garvey and Woodward,
Connolly's lame being added to the others after
ward. Connolly, in charge of a deputy, started
in search of bondsmen. 1t was announced late
in the afternoon that Eugene Kelly, banker, who

give a ball.

Jay Gould has withdrawn from Tweed's bail
bonds. His withdrawal is due to his unwilling
ness to be examined, as to his sufhciency, by the
counsel for the prosecution, which was to have
been demanded. 1t was their intention to prove
that the legal claims against Gould would proba-
bly, be over-balanced by the amount for which he
was pledged. Three friends of Tweed's are sub
stituted Tor Gould. They are Jacob Vanderpool
(no occupation,) Chas. G.. Cornell (Register,)
aud Chas. Develn (ContractOr.)
The counsel of Tweed has served on Charles
O'Conor a demurrer that plaintiffs have not the
cal acity to sue in the action that the COM
plant is defective, by not including the Mayor,
Aldermen, Supervisors and Commonalty of the
city as defendants. The point raised is that there
is no legal right of the people maintained in such
an ac,ion.
Nobody longer doubts Tweed's intention to fly
from the country. Those vino have been his
warm6ss friends hereabouts are dropping away
from him, and denounce him as bitterly as an
enemy.
