Much curiosity was expressed yesterday, by those
who witnessed the trial. and Others to learn whether or
not Tweed could sentenced the various counts
which be had been found guilty, or whether the
Omnibus Indictment covered all the counts. Law
yers were divided the subject land preferred not to
be quoted until they could examine the law on the sub
feet. Many really thought ithat Tweed could be SEN
fenced for year and fined $3.50 teach count OF the
indictment In other words as there were 22O counts
20 the Indictment he could be sentenced 10 220 years
imprisonment and fined an aggregate OF $4,000. The
following is an extract from opinion rendered by
Judge Davis during the first trial of Wm NJ. Tweed,
when the question came mp whether or not the "Omn-
bus indictment covered one or more offenses:
In such cases defendants very often embarrassed
by tc uniting OF the OenSeS In the same Indictment

Judge Kelley.
WIN. f.. WALKER.

Judge Kelley's past career is sufficient evil
dence with his friends in this city of his in
tegrity and vera"ity, and, whatever Mr..
Ames may charge or the newspapers in
snuate, the confidence of the constituency
that he has represented so long and honor
ably will not be shaken. None of the men,
bers who have been accused of accepting
Ames' offers, except, possibly, Mr.. Dawes,
have been more completely exculpated than
our fellow-townsman. He has from the first
displayed the greatest anxiety to have the
whole truth known, and fairly cornered the
Credit Mobilier agent when he demande
that whatever property he held as belonging
to him (Mr. Kelley should be turned over to
Mr.. Poland for future disposition. Ames'
original testimony as regards Mr.. Kelley
may be reproduced with propriety in this
connection:
In his testimony before the committee Mr..
Ames said: 'He (Kelley) never took the
stock; he regards the stock as be.
longing to me-"
When IN cross-examination this question
was put to him: "In reference to this trans.
action with Mr.. Kelley, you said that there
was some talk between you and Mr.. Kelley,
and you recommended him to take some
stock." A. Yes, sir.
Q. And that he never took it: \. He dii
not.
And again: 81 loaned him 81 900; he
never has taken the stock, and never has hat
any dividends
q. And he never paid anything for thu
stock? A. No, sir.-PhiladeIphia Post.

to speak as follows respecting Senator Jane.

In rejecting upon this matter, we think We
Senator Patterson devious course. lie en-
tered politics ten years ago with high per
sonal reputation but with very low idea Of
the ethics that obtain among politicians.
Politicians are really no worse than other
men, and there are but few sensible Dolti-
Clans who act upon the idea that "all Is fair
in politics" He who enters politics enter.
tanning this idea is sure TO be- tripped by il

son was hall inclined 10 the " I.iberap move.

known him long and well had been forced by
one circumstance and another To doubt b.,
reliability both as a politician and a man
SO, when his defeat came, the outside world
who knew him only By his fair reputation
were surprisei; but that surprise was not
shared by the well-infOnacd men Of orr own
State. The Republican party, unlike any
other that has gone before il, VIII not be-
stow It's hOnOrs upon men OF compromised

and IL may sometimes be slow to be undf-
