The tweed sentence To-Day.

This morning. if the highly considerate
Sheriff redeems his word, William III. Tweed,
after settling his business affairs, will appear
sentence will be interests great many. The
remaining friends of Tweed console them
selves with the hope that the ideal municipal
burglar will not have to wear the convict s
garb for more than year, and not have to
part with more than two hundred and fifty
dollars from the proceeds of his daring frauds.
The question whether or not separate SEN
tence shall be passed for each offence in the
Indictment is to be argued to-day by the op-
posing counsel, and His Honor will then de-
eide whether the trial has been big cry of
indignation and little wool Of punishment or
otherwise. We know that to the ordinary cit
izen years consorting with convicts, as
fellow convict, is as much to be dreaded as
any increase of that term; but to man
deadened to loss of honor as Tweed every hour
of sentence is worth fighting. Macrobius,
the Roman, wished 'sto cancel at three score q
life of fame" because s1ife is ended when our
honor ends;" but Tweed and those who ad-
miro him are not SO NICE But the pity cry
Of such as these appeals to no feeling which
justice can respect. Perhaps, when the SEN
tence which the case imperatively demands
has been passed, we may hear something con-
cerning the document which was handed at
the beginning Of the trial by the prisoners
counsel to the presiding Judge. II has been
limited round that it contained reflections
upon the propriety Of Judge Davis trying the
case, and if it comes within the scope of
contempt of Court we may hope to hear
something concerning it. The unanimous
approval by the honest public Of the verdict
reached in this case is encouraging to Judge
and jury, and justice to the end is now
demanded. The only things which can stay
sentence are the failure Of Tweed to appear
when called for or the issue of stay of pro-
ceedings covering ON arrest of judgment by
Judge Of the Supreme Court Which is the

The IcE BLOCKADE OF Our CANALS Ls-Our
State canals are locked up by the frost for the
winter o fortnight earlier than last year,
arresting the passage to the seaboard Of mil
lions Of bushels of grain and thousands of
tons of other Western products. These masses
of freight must therefore be trans erred to the
railways or held over in the boats till the re-
opening Of our canal navigation in the spring.
In either event heavy losses will fall upon the
shippers, and, to make the matter worse the
railways will no doubt, as usual, promptly
adopt their winter schedule of increased
freight charges, to the prejudice of producers
and consumers. Nor is it secondary evil
resulting from this early winter embargo
upon our canals that from forty to fifty thou
sand persons are by it thrown out of employ
ment. There never was such an opportunity
for volunteers for Cuba.

car passing the Tombs, when he issued from
the badly guarded door. Warden johnson has
suspended some of his keepers, and one has
been locked up The two suspected women
have also been put under lock and key; but
the astute detectives are, MS usual, at sea. Let
us indulge in the desperate belief that the
confident expectations" of the secret police
may be realized, and Sharkey soon again en-
Gagged. 1t would be refreshing for change.
