opportunity OF reopening and discussing the
Tweed case in all its bearings, for the news
which came yesterday to the city the effect that
William NJ Tweed had been discharged by order
OF the Court II Appeals created a genuine sensa-
ton IN the metropolis. 1t was stated
shat the Court of Appeals has reversed the de-
cision OF the lower or Supreme Court, in which
Judge Noah Davis had given the judgment that
had made twelve years convict OF william M.
Tweed. Later in the al ernoon the decision OF
the judges OF the highest court OF the state
was teiegraphed IN lull and every
detail Of the rumor was confirmed. 1t was i'm
medlately asked By every person who met another
person in the streets, the cars the feryboats or
The stages, 'ls Tweed to be let outS' or "Are
tney going to give him chance to escape ?" or
course there were many deep and anx-
iona sympathizers to be found among
politicians in particular, who seemed
overjoyed to hear that Tweed was to be released,
ana in nearly every instance it was noticed that
those who wished to see Tweed free were loud in
their denunciatfon OF Tanmany Hall and John
Kelly.
TEE BALL OPENS.
AT an early hour the SnerinTa once in the
County Court House was visited by
number of tho Tweed sympathizers, who
wanted TO know IL Tweed was to
to be let out at once or II he was to be rearrested
process OF civil suits entered by the city to re-
cover the enormous sums bf money stolen. Some
OF the visitors to the white marble building in the
PARK, when Is one OF the monuments or his
system, did not go into the Sherln's
office but waited outside and discussed
his probable release. In all their discussions 1t
was observable that they displayed an utter ig-
norance OF the law as to how Tweed was to be
released. number of these people expected TO
see Tweed drive down to the courts In an open
barouche distributing smiles ana largesse as In
the old times. but he came not, ana finally among
the groups in the City Hall Park It was whispered
tnat AFTER ALL the ''0ld man might not get out.o
IN THE sHERIFF's OFFICE.
II was understood that Tweed would be rear
rssted as soon as of1cial notice was giveu Ia the
regular way from Albany 10 the Warden OF Black
wells Island, In whose Pententiary Tweed is con-
nned. and 1t was rumored that fresh criminal IN
dictments had been prepared against him, and
that his bail civil suits alone would be so large
that Tweed wonld not be able to furnish IL, and
that II would be impossible for him to find two
persons OF good repute whose real estate would
suiice In It's aggregate to I'LL hts bond.
A representative OF she HERALD who had heard
these different and conflicting rumors. called on
Major quincy at the Sherin's ONCE. and made all
necessary inquiries as the truth OF the rumors.

placed IN his hands, and that y was sent yeeter-
day morning to Deputy Snerin McG0nigal, who

cured the signature OF A. Oakley Hall felonousy to
forged warrants. Deputy Sherin Cumming de-
ciarea tnat no did not know what the warrant
