party has received the supporO most OF the liquor
dealers and their friends who have usually acted with
che Dcmocrss. The state Legislature last Wster TO
pealsd the Probibtory Liquor law. and substituted TIVE
statutes In its place. One OF there forbids tho
r,le OF liquor Sundays, but authorizes
City Councils 10 abrOgato this prohibition at theu
discretion. This law went into effect Aug. 2,

Mayor NofAt An attempt 10 pas- the resolution over
tho veto failed, and similar resolution that ate
ward passed was also vetoed Tie police enforced the
law vigorously and the volators OF it promptly
prosecuted and fncd. The result decrease Of
drunkenness and an increase of good order.
The contest between the friends and mics OF the Law

the meeting voted him out Of the chair and Mr.

The circular contained All actual order to captains
of English ships Of war to deliver up TO his master
slave who had escaped to the ship if the ship at
the time in slayehoIding waters; if it was, that is
TO say, within a marine league of the shore of
country in which slavery exists. More even than
that he must be delivered up if he got on board in
the open sea, and if the ship afterward came within
three miles of the shore. Mr. Forster went fully into
the law of this questionstrange that in this day it
should need to be gone into. Stranger still IT, as
Lord Derby says. Tory lawyers think they can find

Boss Tweed Released by the
Court of Last Resort.

ALBANY, June 15.-The Court of Ap-
peals has unanimously reversed the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court in the case Of
VIM. II. Tweed, and has ordered his dis
charge. The judges held that the writ of
habeas corpus has always been construed
in favor of, and not against, the liberty of
the subject and citizen, and the reading
must be the same whenever its benefit is
invoked by the purest and best citizen Of the
State OF the greatest sinner and the one
most worthy Of cOndign punishment. On
TWeed's cumulative sentences the judges
state no warrant can be found for cumula-
tive punishment upon a conviction of sew
eral offenses charged in single Indictment,
or an aggregate punishment exceeding that
prescribed by law for the grade of ofenses
charged. The rule as claimed by implica-
tion, calls for a single judgment for all the
ofenses charged in the Indictment and of
which the accused is convicted. 1t requires
that the Ofenses Joined shall be Of the same
grade and subject to the same punishment,
that, is, not only punishment o. the same
kind, but the same in degree.
Excitement in New York.
NEW YORK, June 15.-The news that
the Court Of Appeals had finally decided in
favor of Tweed and ordered his release
from the penitentiary circulated to-day
through the city with great rapidity, and
Tor the time takes precedence Of the Beecher
trial. Sheriff COnnor has taken. every pre-
caution to secure the arrest of Tweed i'm
mediately upon his discharge. Deputy
Sheriff MagOnigle, furnished with an order
Of arrest in the civil suits, has been sta
toned on BlackWell's Island for several
days, and will arrest the ex-Tammany
Chief before he has long enjoyed bis new
found liberty. Unless he is provided with
securities to the amount of three million
dollars, he will be taken to Ludlow street,
and, even if he could supply this amount
Of bail, it is understood he would be again
taken INTO custody on another suit, in
which an equal amount of security would
be demanded. The order Of arrest in the
civil suits is signed by Judge Davis, who
was the presiding Judge at Tweed's trial.
More Merchants Indicted
