such as was given yesterday. in the civil suit of
The People agt. Tweed, Judge Davis has granted an
order of arrest against Tweed in which the bail is

Mr.. Tweed to that extent far as his own fortune

Sheriff Conner said yesterday to a reporter of THE
TRIBUNE that he would endeavor to have the Court

Warden would not release Tweed until the remittnr

UIDGE DAVIS ASTONIspFD.

az oASIDERKD THE COURT or Afh.'s I'D HAVE
MADE A GRIEvOUs ERROR OF JUnGhsNf-iHh
RIGHT TO SENTENCE On ZACH COUNT OF An
INDICTMENT DBYENDYD-CoMMON LAW IN EN-
GLAND AND AMERICA DECLARED TO UPHOLD
YIis PRiNCIrII-IwEED's PROSPECTS, or CELL
In A STATE PRISON.
Last evening a TRIBUNE reporter called on Judge
Noah Davis, in order TO learn his opinions in regard
10 tho action of the Court of Appeals
Bir. Davis was at first somewhat retcent
and said that he did not wish TO east any reflection
ON tbe Court of Appeals But While he felt in ccur-
tesy bound to respect its judgment, he was fully
convinced of the sounduess and integrity Of his own
In fact he was convinced that the Court of Appeals
probably with the least intentions, had fallen INTO
n crieyous error of Judgment and one that would
shock the moral sense of the community at large. lie
was utterly unable to understand how the Judges
arrived at such decision, and greatly surprised that
the Judgment was unanimous. He could not COM
prebend 1T through any legal OF logical method OF
reasoning.
Judge Davis declared that the theory " that the
power of the court was exhausted when one SEN
tencc was pronounced Oh one count Of
tho indictment, and that the cumulative
sentences were yoid.r is entirely erroneous and
absurd. At common law, both in England and
t,is country, The rule is that several mis-
demeanors distinct in their character may
be Joined in single indictment and
verdicis rendered conviotng the accused OF
each misdcmoanor. Judge DAVIS thinks this Is also
the practice throughout all the States eX-
cept, probably. Texas 1t was on the
same principle that the Ticbborne claimant
was sentenced. The Court has discretionary power
TO mako all tho terms together. In some cases
this i'll moot the ends of jusic but III the case oi
Tweed This principle would have been totally made
quae for this purpose In passing sentence on Tweed
Judge Davis says 1ai he stoered The middle course.
lie had If in his power to sentence him for 30 years,
according TO the extreme limits of the law for each
oilense.
judge Davis believes that all the Judges of the
Supreme Court of New-York, with probably two
or three exceptions, will agree that Twecds
sentence was legal and fair. lie is of opinion
that all the legal journals and respectable
newspapers in this country, as well as in England,
will uphold his decision from every point Of Wow,
both lceal and moral. Tweed has not, he thinks,
vet ESCAPED the clutches of the law. The District
Attorney has prepared bench warrant ON an IN
dictnent for felony against Linn, and there are Othci
indictments of similar character hanging over
him 50 fhat he rms the risk of getting much
longer term than twelve years, and also OF beng
sent to State Prison.
Judge Davis repudiates the idea that he was III
fuonced NV any personal or political feeling III the
mnttcr Of Tweed's sentence, some persons have
intima;ed. His sole object to deal out eNen-hnded
Justice, and put stop 10 wholesale plunder.

A NEW BENCH WARRANT AGAINST TWEED
JUDGE DAVIS ISSUES TIE WARRANT On AN OLD

INDICTMENT.
Besides the book Indictment against Tweed, Con-
nolly and Hall, on which Tweed was convicted,
which in 800 counts charged Tweed with na ggently
allowing 30 different warrants to be paid, there was
a number OF other indictments found i'll 1872 and
1873 against Tweed, very many OF them
in tho same form as the book Indictment, except
that they only charged negligence as TO
ono warrant. Others were fOr felony, some
for false pretenses. some for forgery in the
third degree, Others under the Mock Auction act,
which ,nahes certain modes of obtaining property
by trick grand larceny. OF these, sixteen felony
indictments and seven indictments for nsdemeanoI
are supposed Ia survive. 1t was of these old
Indictments for the obtaining from Mayor Hail OF
his signature to a warrant for Sl26.707 80 III favor
of Ga,vey that new bench warrant was issucd by
Judge Davis yesterday.

New PARLoR CARs.-A trial trip Of two
magnificent parlor cars, manufactured eX-
pressly for the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad Company, at their
shops near the State Fair-Grounds, took place
yesterday evening. They were in charge of
Mr.. W. Fl. Trainham, master car-bulder.
Tue cars are probably more handsomely con-
structed than any coaches of the kind ever
turned out in this city. They are built In
the latest and most approved style, being
arranged with smoking-rooms, ladies' apart
| ments, and invalid chamters, besides COM
modious saloon fitted with revolving chairs,
wash-rooms, etc. The floors of the saloon
and other portions Of the cars are neatly car.
petted or covered with tastefully selected pat.
terms of oil-cloth, furnished by the we'll
known firm Messrs. R. ?. Richardson & Co.
The woodwork is of superior nature,
the coaches being finished with ash, maple,
and walnut, with side-ceilings, approp priately
decorated with biistered maple-veneering,
instead of the usual head-iining. The roof
is supplied with the latest pattern of auto
matte ventilators and windows. The car is
heated by Bakers patent bot.water car-heater,
and is lighted by four nickel-plated chande-
liers. The cost Of constructing these cars
was about $4,000 each, and. upon the whole,
they will do credit to any car.bullding estab-
lishment in the United States.
