WIN. ID. TWEED's RELEASE,

The New York Court of Appeals, at
Albany, on the 10Th, reversed the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court in the case
of VIM. NJ. Tweed, and has ordered his
discharge.
The Judges held that the writ of
habeas corpus has always been constru-
ed in favor of. and not against the
liberty of the subject and citizen, and
the reading must be the same whether
The benefit of it is invoked by the pur-
est and best citizen of the State, or
the greatest sinner and the one most
worthy OF condign punishment. The
law is no respector of persons, and suf-
fers no man, be he guilty or innocent,
to be depriI ed of his liberty, except bv
due process of law, and the writ of
habeas corpus is as available, even to
the guilty, to him whom the popular
voice would condemn, as it has proved
against commitments by the king in
council on cumulative sentences.
The Judges state that no warrant can
be found for the Communication of pun
lshment upon a conviction of several Of
lenses charged in a single Indictment.
the aggregate punishment exceeding
that prescribed by law for the grade of
offenses charged. The rule, as claimed.
implication, calls for single Judgment
for all the offenses charged in the in
dictment of which the accused is con-
victed. 1t requires that the ,ofenses
joined shall be of the same grade and
subject TO the same punishment, and
that it is not punishment of the same
kind, but the same in degree. The
news of the action of the court created
great excitement In New York, and the
sheriff Immediately made arrangements
to re arrest Tweed on civil suits on his
leaving Blackwell's Island.

the NEW CABLE LAID.

There was great rejoicing III New York
on tie afternoon and evening of May II,
especially among merchants and bust
ness men, and more particularly the pa
irons of European cable telegraph wires.
over the receipt of the welcome
news of the success of the new subma-
rine line of the direct United States
Cable company. The first announce
ment Ct this news IVES received at the
Office of the company in New York, in
dispatch from Torbay, n. S..
stating that the direct United
States cable was completed this
afternoon, and communication was now
established by it between America and
Ireland. This telegram was received at
about 3 o'clock, and was Immediately
published here. The bulletin-boar
of many of the newspapers, business
exchanges, and other public places an
nounced the news to the public at once.
Later news from Torbay conveyed
information to the effect that
the cable was liz splendid work
ing order, the signals from Ire
land being perfect. The new cable runs
from Rye Beach, n. H, to Ballinskel-
igs Bay, Ireland, which points are in
connection with all the frst-class land
lines in and from the respective coun-
tries. The last work of the company
was to complete gap off the American
coast to buoy at sea, $50 miles distant.
Owing to the prevalence of continuous
heavy fog, this finishing link has been
greatly delayed.

IT Is extraordinary that two nations
SO closely allied III race and so near in
geographical position as China and
Japan should be so different in dispo-
sitlon. China, although its gates have
been thrown open to foreign countries,
has not yet taken in a single idea of
advanced political principles. Her
eighteen provinces, eight of them rang
ing IN population from $4,000, 900 to
$1,000, 900, are under the control of
royal governors, who are only response
lble to their sovereign. Japan has late
~ formed parliamentary body CON
slsting of two houses. For few wears
past one Legislative body has been IN
existence, made up entirely of the
mobiles of the land. Advanced ideas
have given the japanese a repugnance
to have as their supreme masters the
nobility. change for the better is
made IN that, although the Legislators
are not IN the future to be elected by
the people. There are to be appointed
by the governor Of each province such
leading nlcn-not nobles-as represent
the principles of their respective dis
trIcts. The Upper House originates the
laws; they are sent TO the Cabinet of
the Emperor for approval; if approved
they go the Lower House to be framed
appropriately. This house is to con
slst of the most noted lawyers of Japan.

almost-ls clearly apparent, and to
Englishmen themselves. England has
cooled IN her enthusiastic ambition to
be called the Queen of the Seas. -
To merit the distinction of Queen
of Merchants has been found not only
more profitable, but to imbue her with
as much power. For the past twenty
years her policy has been peace, not so
much because there was an absolute
danger that this great nation would be
crushed, but, by war, there would be a
check, and possibly permanent one, TO
her commercial interests, which make
her friendship to foreign countries OF
more advantage than even that of mil
itary despotism, bound around and per-
meated with soldiery-Germany. The
result of this commendable spirit is
that foreigners are gradually supplying
the places OF native sailors, and the
Consul General reports that they are
much more Trustworthy and orderly.
Eng hsh sailors show a growing ten
dancy to characterization; they proba-
bly, want to go into business pursuits.
The Consul General wishes that some
means could be devised to raise the
standard of seamen, and asks the CO.
operation of the United States.

WOMEN arrive at conclusions with
jump that men would have to work out
slowl y and logically. In practical and
every-d day affairs they rarely make mis-
takes. This is well illustrated by lit
tie incident in the recens visit of the
"big Injuns to Washington. Among
their number was one wouan-Cha-
pink-pa lu-ta-the wife of Bad Wolf.
While the other chiefs were prowling
around Washington, untrammeled with
wives, Cha-pink- pa-lu-ta chung close to
the side of her hege lord, and
there she staid. She had never been in
Washington before, but clear off in Da-
kota something instinctively told he,
that all is not right in Washington,
though it is the civilized white mans
city hence a determination was formed
to keep an eye on Bad Wolf. And Bad
Wolf had no chance to go off on sprees
as the other chiefs are said to have done.

THE Supreme Court of the United
States has recently decided that the
laws passed by the legislatures of the
southern states while they We're in re
belilon are valid and binding so far as
they do not conflict with the constitu-
tlon and laws of the United States.
They are acts of tue only law-making
power of those states at the time-in
other words, they are the acts of legis-
Iatures de tactO if not de .jure. The
case came up on an appeal from
the Court Of Claims, which
had decided that seizures of
cotton belonging to certain corpora
tions We're illegal. The ground of the
appeal was that the corporations had
no legal existence, having been char
tered by rebel legislatures which had
no power to make valid statutes. This
plea was, as we have said, overruled by
the Supreme Court, and the decision of
the Court of Claims sustained.

THE TrcHBoRNE CASE "A year or
two ago, there was tried in England,
one of the most remarkable cases in
the annals of courts. A man appear
ed as claimant of the 1'ichborne es-
tates, who asserted that he was Sir
Roger Tichborne, who left home
many years before, and who was sup
posed to be dead. The trial occupied
several months, and was decided
against the claimant, who was impris-
oned for perjury &c, and is now un-
iergoing his punishment.
The following from the Horld,-
an English paper,-may throw some
light on the subject.
WHO Is TIE CLAIMENT!-Can it
be true that DR.. Kenealy's client is
both an Orton and 1ichborne! A
strange story, but one for whose au-
thenticity | can vouch reaches me.
Somewhere about the tine when the
true and original r. G. D. Tichborne
should have been born, the old Sir
Roger Tichbcrne, his father, was liv-
ing at Bath. His cook was young
woman, possessed. in the language OF
the liner, of considerable personal
attraction" and the elderly Catholi,
Baronet somewhat too litera ly accep-
ted the Horatian maxim nc sit a,icilIae
tibi amor pudari. In the course OF
time conlraband baby nude its APP
pearance. Who that baby was do
not pretend to say, but there are in
disputable-frst. the fact that the
mother of the luckless little mortal
was Sir Roger Tichborne's cook; Sec
ondly. that The father was Sir Roger
Tichborne himself; thrifty. that the
surname of this cook was Orion. IT
is possible enough that the inference
drawn from this episode may be false,
but can pledge my veracity that the
episode itself is of evangelical truth.
