NEW YORK, June 22.-Boss Tweed ap-

tody of the deputy sheriff He was smug-
gled of Blackwell's Island at 10 last night,
and drove around the city in carriage this
forenoon. He went to his Office
on Duane street, and spent some
time in conversation with his counsel.
after which he proceeded to the district at
torney's office with his son and secretary.
In the Supreme Court his counsel presented
to Judge Davis the order of the Court of Ap-
peals for his discharge from the penitentiary,
which was signed by the Judge. The Boss
soon after appeared in the Court of the over
and Terminer before Judge Brady, The
room was soon packed with people, immense
numbers OF others clamoring for admis-
sion. District Attorney Phelps moved that
the defendant be arraigned to answer an in
dictment found in November, 1873. David

stated that he was not ready to plead or

said that il was evident that the defendant
intended to pursue his old tactics and stave
OF proceedings as long as possible. This was
disclaimed by Field. A legal war of words
followed, when lasted nearly hour
Phelps and Peckham, on behalf of the peo-
pie, claimed that there was no reason why

1t is wrong, it is unjust to ask us to plead to
an indictment of which we know nothing.
The counsel further said that it could not be
considered a special favor to issue warrants
in civil suit OF So 600. 900, and to fix the bail
at the enormous figure of $4,000, 900, and
that such a bail was unheard of. Yes, said
Mr.. Peckhsm, and the stealing of SC, 900 900
was an unheard of thing until the defendant
committed the theft. The matter here
rested and Judge Brady stated that he be-
lieved the defendant ought to have time to
examine the indictments, but would
not give a formal decision until later
in the day. The court then fixed the bail
on the Indictment. The above argument
was on the indictment charging the Boss
with frsudulently obtaining the signature
of Mayor Hall to warrant paid to A. Gar
vey. On this indictment the court fixed the
bail at 50, 600. On the indictment found by
the grand jury of the May 1875 term of the
court of they Oyer aud Terminer, which
chrages him with conspiracy, in having in
conjunction with Peter B. Sweeney and Ell
bert A. Woodward defrauded the city, the
court fixed the bail at $1,000. The proceed
| ings were then adjourned, and Tweed, sur
rounded by his COUNSEL lett the court room.
Albert B. Sands became the bondsman on
the former indictment, and Charles Devlin
on the latter. The whole party returned to
the oyer and Terminer's court room and
the bonds were approved by Judge Brady.
Tweed was then taken in custody again on
an order of arrest in the civil suit, and con-
veyed to the Ludlow street Jail where he
will remain until the three million bail is
furnished. Tweed arrived at the Ludlow
street Jail late in the afternoon. He has en-
gagged the warden's sitting room, which is
neatly furnished and we'll ventilated. He
says that he expects by tomorrow after
noon to be free man.
