Tweed's Movements.

Great excitement was created at the
newspaper Offices this noon by the recep-
ton of a report that Boss Tweed had been
quietly removed from the penitentiary. 1t
is stated that Tweed left the prison last
night at ten o'clock, his departure being
kept so quiet that it was not detected by
the morning newspaper reporters who
were detailed to watch for his removal.
The reporters of the evening papers, who
have been sent to ascertain the truth of the
report, have not yet returned from the
island, but the report of Tweed's removal
is generally credited. 1t is not hnown at
the Commercial Advertiser Office whether
lac has been taken to Ludlow street Jail or
moi, or whether he has been released on
bail or not There is something very mys-
teiious about the matter.
