A LEADING citizen of our
county, who Is a noble hearted,
generous fellow, but who has
the misfortune to get under
the control OF King Alcohol
sionally, had a well known
courtesan arrested for stealing
ninety five dollars from him,
while he was in her social dead
fall. Last Tuesday, the frail
damsel was taken before Jus.
tlce Payne, but the trial had
not proceeded far before the
prosecutor ordered the Court
10 dismiss The case al his cost,
which was done.
No evedance was heard in
the case but from what we
learn of the circumstances
there are some poiLls in the
case tending very strongly
against Fanny.

NRw YORK, DEC. 20, 1874
BOSS TWEED.
The wicked old man IS on
the surface again. Tired ol
living in prison, knowing that
Gov. Dix will not pardon him
and that the Governor elecr,
dare Motif he would,he appeal
ed once more to the courts. He
was taken out Of prison on a
writ Of ha6eas corpus, and Ia,
ken before the courts, where
he petitioned 10 be discharged
on the score that the court
that tried him had no jurisdic-
tion. Judge Barrett decided,
OF course, against the illustri.
Gus thief, and back he went.
Wednesday night rumor pre-.
vailed that he had given the
officers the slip, and had got
away to Europe, and the lie
was for an hour generally
credited. 1t was the more
readily believed, for everybody
knows that if the Boss has the
money he is credited with, he
can buy his way out without
trouble. And the comment up
on it was not encouraging to
one who wants 10 believe In the
honesty of mankind. ~ am
glad the old man has got
away" SAID one merch ant in
my hearing. "Why gladW |
asked, "Oh, he has enough
was the reply. And that was
the expression of a foil half of
the people. Curious, isn't it
Here Is a man who plundered
the taxpayers for years in a
way that would have made a
pickpocket blush-a man who
stole right and left, not only
for himself, but a horde of fol-
lowers-a man who, by sheer
stealing and an alroit use of
what he stole, held the city
and State in the hollow of his
hand, and even aspired to The
control of the country; this
tibet, swlndler, and robber is
piiied by the men he rlunder,
ed! | can't help but think that
the men who pity him, envy
him, and that, placed as he
was, would have done the same
thing. The newspapers of the
city, TO their credit be it said,
insist on his being kept where
he is till bis full term expires.
Public opinion will probably
keep him there till he buys his
way out.
And speaking of the Boss,
Gov. Dix did good thing the
other day. He supposed, as
did all The world, that the no
tund old thief was dressed in
stripes and doing prison duty
the same as other criminals
Becoming better informed he
addressed communication to
Mayor Havemeyer, protesting
against giving the man who
had pIundered the city of S20,-
100000, a suite OF rooms, ser.
wants, citizens clothes, ard
other luxuries, and of allow
ing him visitors at hi 8 own
pleasure. Very properly, the
Governor characterized this
discrimination between one
thief and another as a ''mc OK
cry of justice. But the pro-
test will do no good. The
Boss has means at bis disposal,
and he will be a prisoner Of
state as long as he chooses to
stay.
