The LIABILITY OF EDITORS TO THEIR
FRIENDs.-What is the liability of an
editor to his personal friends Strictly
speaking, he should have none; should
attack his own father if lie dsapproves
his speeches, or lash his wife's last book
if he thinks it rubbish. This is, no
doubt, abstractly true, as it is also alb
stractly true, to steal an epigram from
an Australian who once wrote a PAM
phlet on the subject, that an editor
should live in cellar, but in practice
men will not comply with either condi-
ton, and such demands would drive
all the men with hearts and tempers
out of the profession. 1t is nevelthe-
less excessively difficult to find rule
that shall be morally sufficient, for ST.
lence, though it will meet the case of a
book, unless of the first Importance; will
not meet that of grave political action
We suspect that in this case tie prac-
tice of parliament is still the best guide,
and that the Journalist is bound: as the
statesman would be bound, to do his
duty and take the consequences. HI
might be little more gentle in his Ian
suage, little more apologize in his
tone, but the attack must not he de.
prived OF its efficiency for any personal
consideration whatsoever.-l London

Conviction and Sentence OF Tyvesd.

VIM. NJ Tweed. the New ! DIRK Alder
man, whose fraudulent practices have cX-
cited so much attention of late, was last

concludes as follows. nnder The date of
Saturday =
4.30 r. NJ Tweed has iu9t been sem
fenced to Imprisonment tor T. wears and
| to pay a fine Ct Sl2 500.
The sentence of the Court occupied half
an hour in the delivery Tweed received
| it calmly
a bill OF exceptions will be presented
Monday.
During the past two years Boss Tweed
has been transferring his property to his
son, Richard Tweed, and others, so that
he now holds no property whatever in
this county or Greenwich, Conn.
1t is, however, the intention Of Attor-
ney General Barlow to proceed against
him in q civil suit on the ground that this
| property is not legally his, and con-c
quently he had no right to transfer it,
As some OF the property has passed
through many hands, such a suit rs the
one proposed would give rise to many
complications.
Tweed remained in the sheriff. office
till one o'clock this morning, hoping that
either Judge Pratt or Judge lngraham
would issue stay Of proceedings, but
both declined to do 50, and the former
Boss of this city was taken TO the TombS.
