Tho Tweed Case.

\ special 10 the Boston Globe gives the
proceedings in this case on Wednesday, as
follows:
This very much postponed case commenced
this morning before Judge Davis in the court
OF Oyer and Termner. A special panel of
100 jurors was read over by the clerk of the
court, but only IS OF them answered. A tine
of $50 each was imposed upon the absen'
tees, and the experiment of searching fn
fair minded, un-opinoned, unprejudced
jurors was commenced, The distinguished
defendant" was in court He wore his we'll
known white silk neckiic. third sized diamond
studs and his All Sin smile. He WAS accom-
panied by his two sons Gen. VIM. M. Tweed
Jr., one Of Gov. Hoflnan's staff, and Rich
ard, the late proprietor of the Metropolitan
Hotel. The court room was crowded with
veteran politicians, the former friends, and.
no doubt, some enemies of the ex-sboss" OF
Tammany Hail. The 'bloody Sixth ward
was fully represented in the back part of the
court room. That was the especial baliwick
OF the old chief in his younger days. when he
ran the big six" fire engine, and from it
stepped into position which the most pow
eriul Of European dcspots might have envied.
Tho new jury law worked we'll. Only for il,
the probability is that it would take two
weeks t. find twelve men duly qualified by
ignorance to sit in Judgment upon William
NJ. Tweed. In fact, ii as rigidly pressed az
it was in the first trial Of ex- Mayor Hall, the
probability is that New York could not fur
! nish the required jury. Tome the
hearing Of the case will commence in solid
earnest, and will probably last much longer
than was az first anticipated.
