THE Court of Appeals of New York,
according to dispatch from Albany,
has ordered the discharge of Boss
Tweed from Blackwell's Island. The
Boss was sentenced to twelve years i'm
prisonment for as many seperate
offenses of which he was found guilty,
the penalty being years imprison-
ment for each. This was the first SEN
tence of cumulative punishment pro-
nounced in the State, and its legality
was questioned by many of the ablest
lawyers in New York. The case was
taken to the Supreme Court, and the
judgment of the lower court was af-
firmed. An appeal was then taken to
the Court of Appeals, the highest
judicial tribunal in the State, which has
just reversed the judgment of the lower
courts and ordered the prisoner dis
charged. The Boss will probably waste
no time in getting out of the country,
as it is very probable that he will be
again arrested if he remains in New
York.

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

The ticket nominated by Gorham,
Sargent and Cars Convention last
week in Sacramento meets with gen.
eral disfavor throughout California.
The people repudiate it and the Repub-
lican press, with the exception of few
hide-bound organs, denounce it in the
strongest terms. The Office holders
and politicians had it all their own way
in the Convention. where everything
ran smooth as oil. the defeat of Pacheco,
the strongest candidate for Governor,
not even making jar. With the adj
iournment of the Convention, how
ever, its engineers lost all control of the
machinery, and the ticket is now so
badly swamped that there is not the
slightest hope of its being elected. This
affords the Democrats splendid OPP
portunity for victory in the Golden
State. Their convention has not yet
assembled, and they can profit by the
disaffection in the Republican ranks.
All personal considerations should be
laid aside, and ticket nominated that
will command the respect and conf
dence of good citizens. The material
for such ticket is abundant, and if
the Democratic convention fails to
nominate it, defeat is certain at the
polls, and the Independents. unless
they too make similar blunder, will
sweep the State from Siskiyou to San
Diego.

A SAN Francisco M. D. and his wife
recently arrived in Virginia City, where
the doctor hung his shingle and an
nounced his ability to cure most if not
all the ills that flesh is heir to. Shortly
after his arrival at the Comstock he
was arrested for beating and abusing
his wife, to which he plead guilty and
was fined $35. Since then his wife
watched every opportunity to escape
from the tyrannical healer, and last
Sunday night she succeeded in doing
so, and was more than half way to
Reno before she was missed by her
husband,

The best result ever attained with
any gun was arrived at recently with a
3S ton gun at Woolwich, England. The
gun was being fred to determine the
proper proof charge for guns of its
class, and when discharged with $50
of powder and 800 pounds projectile
it recorded the extraordinary velocity
of 1906 feet per second. This result,
says Iron, is due to the newly designed
cubical gun powder, the grains of which
are cubes, an inch and half in dame
ter.

red in by all the Judges. The opinion

acts, and orders that judgment and the
orders of the Supreme Court and the
Court of Oyer and Terminer be revers-
ed and the prisoner discharged.

THE RIVER.

There seems to have been a heavy rain
north of us this morning. If it extends
to the Ohio Valley (which is not proba'
ble) we may expect a marked increase
in the rise of water here. The effect,
however, will be temporary unless the
rain is general. We learn that the back
water from the St. Francis basin has be-
gun to reach the Mississippi; if SO it will
be felt Immediately at Helena and may
give our friends below there some trouble,
particularly as there is an unexpected
rise passing down the Arkansas. But
the outlook from above is not as gloomy
as the timid and thoughtless would have
us believe, eroakers and columns Of SEN
sational newspaper reports to the con-
trsry notwithstanding. The rise at and
above Cincinnati has about exhausted
itself; fall has set in at Pittsburg. The
rise at Evansville was only twelve inches
yesterday which demonstrates our theory
that the Cumberland and Tennessee, be-
ing comparatively low and falling, would
counteract the rise from the western
tributaries Of the Ohio. The decline in
the Wabash will probably reach the Ohio
to-day; if so, we may look for a decline
from Evansville to Cairo at once, not
w~ithstanding the rise at Cincinnati and
Louisville. A rapid decline has set in at
St. Louis, the effect Of which will proba-
bly, reach Cairo to-day, showing that the
sudden rise there was from local rains.
The low stage of water at Dubuque and
Keokuk, on the Mississippi three and
FIVE feet and at Leavenworth, on the
Missouri twelve feet give assurance OF
no danger from those rivers, hence the
whole danger is from the western tribu-
taries of the Ohio. And a disastrous
overflow of the Mississippi has never
been known to result from the Missouri
or Mississippi alone. The Ohio, when
aided by the Cumberland and Tennessee,
is dangerous. But in this case the foods
from the two latter have passed off in
time to save us from extreme high water.
Private dispatches to-day from Pine
Bluff state that the Arkansas is rising at
the rate of a foot every twenty-four
hours. 1t is now within four feet Of high
water mark. From the volume Of water
coming out we apprehend serious results
to the people below the mouth of the
river.

LoSDsN, August 5.-Ten thousand
strangers arrived in Dublin yesterday to
attend the 0'Connell centenary.
No arrangements have been made
with the Union Bank for the redemption
Of Duncan, Sherman & Co.'S letters of
credit in the hands of travellers. Nego-
t~iations pending since the failure of the
firm have not been completed. Letters
from Paris say over 1000 holders of the
firms letters Of credit have been heard
from in Germany alone. Many are ut
terly destitute, and have been compelled
to apply for relief to the local authori-
ties or to the American consuls. One
woman, a teacher of Massachusetts,, had
but thirty francs when she heard of the
failure. The American and English
people where she was staying subscribed
sufficient funds to pay her expenses to
Hamburg, from which place she took
steerage passage home. Appeals for
aid from persons holding these letters
come from all directions. A document
stating these facts and %denouncing the
house is preparing for publication.
DUBLIN, August 5,-The celebration of
the hundredth anniversary of the birth
Of Daniel 0'Connell began here to-day,
and will be continued three day. This
morning a solemn religious ceremonial
was held In the cathedral, at which Car
dinal Cullen %oficiated, assisted by Irish
and other Catholic prelates. This after
noon the oratorio OF Elijah is to be sung
in Exhibition Palace, and in the evening
a concert of Irish music will take place
in the same building, when a centenary
ode will be recited.
