LEGISLATIVE attendance of members
In both branches on Saturday was small, and
no business of special interest was transacted.
To the Senate, bill ''to amend the code " was
introduced; then resolution to authorize full
exhibit of Virginia resources at the Centennial
exhibition; then one enqulring as to amending
the law so as to prevent county supervisors
from disposiDg of property without the consent
OF the county judge; and then an adjournment.
In the House Of Delegates the standing
committees were announced. Mr.. Sheffcy is
chairman of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, Coghil of Courts of Justice, Bag
we'll OF Schools and Colleges, Mathew of Claims,
Gray of Asylums, Armstrong of Public Prop
erty, Watts Of Banks, Taliaferro of the Chess-
peake and its tributaries, Critz of Agriculture
and Mining, Smith (Fauquier) of Federal Re-
lations, Nicely, of Counties Cities and Towns,
Carter (Loudoun) Of immigration, Letcher Of
Roads, &c., and Crump OF Finance. Mr. Fowle,
of this city, is on the Committees on Banks
and Counties, Cities and Towns, and Mr.
Simpson, on the Committees on Propositions,
Grievances and Enrolled Bills. MIR. Purcell,
of Prince William, is on the Committees Oh
Militia and immigration, and Mr. Pierson, Of
Fairfax, on the Committees on Executive Ex-
penditures and Banks Resolutions were in-
troduced and referred as to the expediepcy of
amending the law which permits interested
parties to testify in their own behalf, so as to
prevent such testimony in the probate of wills
except upon such forfeiture of interest under
the will as is now imposed upon attesting wit
nesses: ipstructing the Committee on Asylums
and Prisons to inquire into the expediency Of
reducing the commission now allowed the
general agent of the penitentary as to the
expedency of so amending the code as to allow
pay to veniremen, when summoned and taken
from their work, for the time they are so de-
tanned, whether they serve on the Jury or not !;
as to the expediency Of reducing the pay Of
members and officers of the General Assembly
to SIS per day, with like ratio Of reduction in
salaries of all officers of the Capitol and their
clerks; as to the expediency of amending the
law in relation to abatement OF common-law ac-
tons in cases where one or more of the parties
jointly sued die during the tendency of the
suit, so as to authorize revival of such actions
against the personal representative of the de-
cedent, ETC.. as if such decedent had been sole
defendant; and to amend sections of the act to
establish separate circuit court in and for the
city of Fredericksburg. The House, with great
unauimity, abolished the place Of Third Door
keeper, and both bodies adopted resolution
to proceed on Wednesday to the election of
State officers

Boss Tweed has stepped down and out. T"
After battling the highest courts and greatest
lawyers of the Empire State with his persistent
appeals and habeas corpuses, the Tammany
chief, despairing of entirely freeing himself
from prison walls by legal tricks, took the law
in his own hands Saturday afternoon, and dis
charged himself from custody. 1t seems that
Mr.. Tweed has lately been allowed many priv
ieges, visiting his home and various other To-
calities under the escort of deputy sheriff,
and returning to his quarters 10 Ludlow street

with bis accommodating shadow and OBJ
tanning permission to have private interview
with his wife, departed to return no more
These were the tactics employed, it will be re-
membered, by the noted Harry Genet, who
distinguished himself in the same line
Through the exemplary system of silence and
mystery so much in favor 10 police circles, the
circumstance seems to have been kept very
quiet for several hours-so very quiet, indeed,
that the police themselves knew little or moth
ing about it until long after the bird had flown.
Then was commenced most vigorous search
The Tweed mansion vas ransacked and the
dwellings 10 the neighborhood were explored
The fertile genius at headquarters even set bis
mounted police in motion, and they secured
the woods of Westcbester. But strange to
say, neither the clothes presses of the houses
nor the huckleberry bushes of the woodlands
bore any signs of the presence of the fiat con-
tgibutor'' to so much of New York's misery.
All that can be said of him now is that he is
gone, but where is as great mystery as the
whereabouts of Charley Ross.
