Here is a new idea of The Tweed case

Here Is q new idea OF the Tweed case.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
There seems to be popular misappre-
hension of the nature and consequences
of Boss Tweed's escape from Ludlow
street Jail. By the decision Of the Su-
preme Court OF New York, be was re-
leased from confinement on Blackwell's
Island some time since, on the ground
that the cumulative sentence against him
was illegal. He had been sentenced TO
an aggregate of twelve years and fine
OF $4,000 on different misdemeanors
punishable with three months and and q
small fine each. The Supreme Court
decided that he could not be sentenced
to more than one term, and that he was
entitled to bis release at the end of the
first three months. He was then rear
rested on civil process on ar action
brought by the people OF New York to
recover the money alleged to have
been stolen by him. Ludlow street jail
is in reality debtors prison, and he was
confined there in default Of Sc, 600, 900
bail. His escape from thence does not
make him a fugitive from justice. but
only a fugitive from debt. So far from
being compelled to seek refuge in Spain
or Mexico. or some other country with
which the United States have no ex.
tradition treaty, he is perfectly safe the
moment he crosses the Hoboken Ferry
as he cannot be arrested for debt in any
other State. or even in any other county
OF New York State. The suit against his
property will go on, but We do not be-
lieve enough will be recovered to pay for
the prosecution. Lawyers and friend"
have absorbed pretty nearly all the old
man managed to acquire by the industri-
Gus pIunderings of long life.

bought at an auction sale in 1776
desk OF which R gave particular
description. asking that If the desk still
remained in M. Bartbe's possession he
should like to buy it at any cost, as it
once belonged to his father. NJ. Barthe
answered that he still had the desk.
There it is" be said. - do not care
to know your motive. nor do l wish to
make aprofit out Of your wish to have
the desk. If you will replace it by an.
other, you can have it taken away. Z"
Two hours later it was removed to Cor.
