THE CHIEF THIEF.


BOa0 Brought to BOOK. IUe OaO Amh@A
Sentenced 10 Twelve Years.
New YORK, 22.-The Court of Oyer
and Terminer is densely packed this
morning. owing to the interest in the
Tweed case. Council for the prosecu-
ton and defense are all present.
Tweed entered the room. followed by
two deputy sheriffs who have been his
custodians since conviction. John
Graham began the argument on motion
in arrest ofjudgment, holding that the
act of the Legislature taking the power
of audit, of which Tweed was member,
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, hence his Giant
was not liable for the acts committed
under an unconstitutional act. w. M.
Tweed was sentenced to twelve years
in the penitentiary and to pay fine OF
1880
Judge Davis's conduct of the Tweed
trial adds additional luster to the fame
he acquired by the able and impartial
manner in which he presided over
the trial of the be-jeweled and
be-whiskered murderer of FISK. His
charge to the Tweed jury, that the
law was made for all men; and not for
poor men or rich men-that they
should judge the case the same as
though man of ordinary position was
before them, instead of one who boast
ed OF wealth and had been possessed
of power almost unlimited. smacks OF
the flavor of an almost forgotten type
of justice. The jury evidently agreed
with the Judge; the concurrence and
the result are both matters for univer-
sal rejoicing.

Leave We1hsAmOOBu A1Omos
We alluded last week to Mr..
Nye's ordinance for constructing
our streets in future. We are EN-.
phatically opposed to his plan for
this among other reasons that can
be urged: under the proposed rule,
people will not be disposed to buy
large lots and spread out, but will
seek building lots of small dimen-
sions in improved portions of the
city, when, if the burden of impro-
wing we're divided as heretofore, the
city borders would be enlarged, and
health and comfort would result
Recently, quite large tracts of land
on the south side, have come into
the city, and placed on the tax list.
Next year the owners will pay a tax
of about %, 1000, and are to secure
in turn no benefit but the permits
sion to pave and grade their own
streets, while the tax they pay is
applied to the liquidation of the
city debt
It does seem that as long as we
have commenced and kept up the
old way of contribution, that il
should continue to be the rule. To
change it at this late day, will work
| great injustice to the enterprisine
| who are trying to improve our city
| and beautify and enlarge it.

Correction.

A correspondent in the last num-
Der of the Palladium, mistakes the
destination of the 500 appropriation
made by the Council, in the extension
of the gas main to Earlham, at the
last meeting of our city guardians.
Instead of the appropriation going
into the pockets of the gas company,
it was given direct to Earlham Col
lege, to assist her in bearing the ex-
penses of lighting the College build
ing. AL the gas company receives
from the city wiz be for the gas fur
nished to light up the bridge. Con-
sidering the many advantages to our
city, directly and indirectly, flowing
from that excellent Institution, no
one. we think, should object to this
small donation; but the regret should
be that our city is not in a financial
condition that would enable her to
give more toward increasing its facil-
tiles for accommodating 4 large num-
Der of students, and educating them
up to the highest point Of usefulness
that the human mind can attain
Instead of censurc, We think our Cit,
Council deserve appreciation, fol

New YORK, Nov. 23-The Herald
special from Washington says the
Spanish objections to our demands are
the following:
/. That the Virginius is not an
American ship, as she, was owned by
Cubans. and registered in the name of
Mr.. Patterson, residing in New York.
2. She has forfeited even this false
registry by subsequent sale to other
parties. :.
3. That she has frequently sailed
during the past two years under the
flags of other countries.
4. That General Ryan was not cit
izen of the United States.
5. That the Virginius, at the time
of her capture, was engaged in an un-
lawful expedition against a friendly
power.

On Thanksgiving. the 9th Nov,
1873. occurred one of those rare events
"a ''goldcn-wedding," or fifty years
of married life, that crowns the bliss
of man and wife. Our old and much
esteemed friend and fellow citizen,
LEWIS BURK, and his companion
MARIA MoFFIrT on that day we're the
recipients of kind remembrances
from friends, on this occasion Of their
fiftieth hymcnial anniversary. Their
union was consumnated on the 9th
day of November, 1923, one mile below
Arlington, in this county. On the
next day they went on their wedding
tour on horse back to Centreville,
at which place they lived for two years,
and then moved to Richmond, where
they resided ever since until they
moved to their farm three miles from
the city, on the Abingdon pike.
About fifty-five Of their old friends,
took the venerable couple by surprise,
and, loaded with an abundant supply
of turkeys, and every good and choice
edible that could be had in our heaven
favored land, went to their residence
and took possession, and spread out
a plenteous Thanksgiving Dinner"
and, with the bride and groom, sat
down and feasted, until their hearts
expanded with additional gladness,
when, our friend James f. Reeves,
presented Mr.. and Mrs. Burk a COM
plimentary letter, signed by a number
of old friends, enclosing GOLD COINS.
as tokens of remembrance of the event
and the appreciation in which they
regarded them. This unexpected tri-
butte completely overcome the happy
couple" and their hearts we're filled
with thanksgiving and praise to God,
for His kind care, and for raising up
to them such estimable friends.
