| Tweed.
NEw YoRK, February THE Heral
this morning editorially reviews th
Tweed trial and its results, and EN-
phatically supports the proposition tbs
a new trial OF the accused be begun q
once. 1t says: "The disagreement Q
the jury yesterday leaves the peopl
with their hands tied. Tweed cam I 2,
forth free man, nor can be be com
mitted to prison. Garvey, the State
evidence, can't, under the disagreement
plead having done service to the people
In exchange tor his self-condemnation
we must then look at the informer with
money, which he contesses to have
wrung from the public treasury, still in
his possession, and only ask wondering
ly, what are the authorities going to dc
about it The public might afford to
wait for bis trial months hence, il ii
was certain that justice would be slow
but sure. but we see no happy consum.
nation. We want to know definitely
whether Tweed is q criminal or an iu-
jured man. II the machinery of law
courts will admit, we ask for fresh
trial immediately"
The Tweed trial continues the topic
ot conversation, and the reform papers
have terrible articles rejecting upon the
jury The Post says one ofthese jurors
of the law mas been an occupant OF
Blackwell's Island and has no means
OF support, or such as would not be
very creditable to their position in 60
ciety. 1t would seem, indeed, as If the
panel had been purposely made up by
the commissioner of jurors to secure
the release of the most infamous OF
fender against law AMI liberty that has
ever been before our courts. x
The Tribune says: Later informs-
ton regarding the jury not only
strengthens our suspicious, but makes
us wonder how it was possible to gather
such a crew from all parts Of the city
into a single jury box. With fewer
they seem to have been
scraped from the scums. Three OF
them are liquor-deslers; one was a
dance-hous manager on the floor of a
tenement house. who regretted that he
had been chosen; one had been in the
State prison and two were convicts
The records OF the United States Courts
show the incarceration in Sing Sing
prison Of one, and the accusation
faced stamps. Is the result to be won

The Times, after treating on the jury
saws: Probably this trial has not cost
Tweed less than from FIVE thousand to
fifteen thousand dollars"
In the Court OF Oyer and Terminer
Judge Davis decided he could not en-
tertsin the motion of the District At.
torney to 20 on with the Tweed trial
Immediately "a the term OF court ex'
