Tweed Escaped.

Wm. M. Tweed, probably the greatest thief the world ever knew, has been treated with such leniency by New York law that be has eluded the ''vigilance" of the officers and gone to where the woodbine twineth. Last Saturl lay he was permitted to visit his home in the city, accompanied by two of ficers, and while there requested permission to see his wife privately in her room up stairs. The reasonable" request was granted, and after he had been absent ten minutes the officers sent for him, when Tweed's son, who was the person sent, re- turned and said his father was not up stairs. Of course the officers were aston ished, and searched the house and every where else, but the bird had indeed flown.
 The above is the substance of the story of the officers having him in charge, but which is doubted by the New York press, who insinuate somewhat loudly that the officers were in collision with Tweed and not only permitted but assisted in the es- cape, and that instead of leaving his house in the early evening ot Saturday last, he was away from them as early as noon ot that day, and long time before the off, cers gave the alarm. At all events, Tweed is-away, and it is scarcely necessary to add that he is wise enough to have his plans SC matured, the powerful arm of New York law will not succeed in reaching him. A man smart enough to steal SC, ,0O0, ,0o0, is smart enough to get away from justice when he makes the attempt, and smar enough to keep away from 1t when once free
