Tweed Found Guilty.
New York, Nov. 10

UNIV w ED VA ALI AVNNlos
The Tweed jury have brought in II YER
dict of guilty on all the counts At ten
o'clock this morning the jury ON the Tweed
trial came into court and asked for further
instruction on the fourth count. Judge
Davis explained the charge to be mscon-
duct in place Of trust, by certifying to those
warrants which he was bound to audit
and reviewed the evidence in support of
the allegation, chiefly certificates of audit
by the defendant, and the sum of over a
a million dollars passing from the proceeds
of warrants to his account, and drawn
from the bank from May to September
After ten minutes absence the jury return
ed with a verdict of guilty on all the
any verdict except general verdict on all
the counts. The judge on dischargng the
jury thanked them for the attention given
in the case. The foreman, on the part of
the jury, returned thanks to the court for
the kindness shown them since they were
kept together, and to each of the officers
having them IN charge for the delicate
manner in which they performed their dis
agreeable duty. Mr.. Graham then moved
an arrest of judgment on the ground of
want of Jurisdiction, and also that the act
of 1870 creating the commission of audit
was repealed by the act of 1878. The
court replied that it would be Il useless
waste of time to argue, he was so con-
WINGED in mind on these points. Mr.. Ora
ham replied that this answer was an UNI
necessary wounding of the feelings of the
cOunsel-to say that the arguments on the
points he raised would be m unnecessary
waste Of time. Judge Davis said he had
no such intention, but simply that his
mind was made up on these points. Mr..
Graham said the answers by the counsel
for the prosecution to points raised
by the defense all through were
ing. Mr.. Graham urged that, considering
the fallibility of human judgment, there
ought to be delay to hear argument on the
want of jurisdiction and on the repeal of
the law of 1870 by the law of 1878. Judge
Davis said he was satisfied on these points ;
they ought to be heard by another Judge.
Mr.. Graham said the points were grave,
and allowed by the court to he grave.

which ought not to be inflicted. on man
who once stood ST. high in the commmu-
nifty Tor his part, he never could
lool. on a fallen face except with pity.
Judge Davis said he would hear the argu-
mcnt tomorrow. Mr.. Bartlett said Mr..
Graham could not be ready, having had
only two hourss sleep out of eighty. The
judge said he would hear it Friday, MI
Tremain could be here on Friday. Dis
