the tweed Ease.
Geo. F. COmstOck, Of counsel for
VIM. NJ. Tweed in the habeas corpus case
before the Court Of Appeals, and an ex-
Judge Of that court, has published a reply
to the attack of Charles O'COnOr and
Judge Davis upon the Court OF Appeals
for giving a decision favorable to Tweed.
In the letter Mr.. COmstOck saws: HIn all
arguments of counsel in opposition to the
lawless sentence pronounced by Judge
Davis, that magistrate was treated with
iOrbeaTance, but it ought now TO be seen
that there were circumstances attending the
last and final trial, conviction and sentence
which may Justify more than a doubt
whether he is longer entitled to such for
bearance. The trial proceeded as if the
purpose was conviction and punishment
for only a single crime. Thus the prisoner
and his counsel were entrapped into the
belief that only one conviction and one
sentence was intended. No change in the
opinion Of the Judge, as advanced on first
trial, was suggested by him until the jury
rendered their general verdict of guilty.
The masked battery was uncovered then,
the tremendously accumulated sentences
fell upon the depressed and Wretched pTis-
oner, charged with neglect Of official duty,
or bad performance of official duty. as
auditor Of certain accounts. The punish
ment in its accumulated severity was more
than twice greater than the law
would have tolerated if he had been
guilty of the larceny Of forty millions Of
money. l know of no precedent for such
a trial save in the times when Jeffreys and
Scroggs administered the criminal law Of
England. The transfer of the case from
the murky atmosphere of Judge Davis
! court, charged with electro passion and
vaulting ambition, to the Court Of Appeals,
was like translation TO another world"
Of Nj. O'ConOr and his share in the
criticism of the Court of Appeals, Judge
Comstock says: 81 will take his opinion
with most profound respect after be has
made examination in the light Of the au-
thorities Of the proceeding. Until then it
would be becoming to withhold his abuse
Of a high tribunal which has carefully and
labOyiously considered the question and
decided it,

NEW KINK IN JEWELLERY.

Paris Correspondence Of AppletOn's journal
There has Just been brought out a new
style of ieWelry, which is very lovely. and
very effective. II is carved out Of the pink
shell from which those pink canoes were
cut that used 10 be the delight Of our
mothers and grandmOtheIs. Set in rim
Of dingy gold, their appearance
used TO be mOUe suggestive Of scented
soap than Of any thing very artistic
or precious. But the skill Of the carver,
Joined to the exquisite nts ofthe material,
has resulted in ornaments Of the greatest
beatty. The styles are pr cisely those
adOp ed coral jeweiTy, namely, sprays
of flowers and leaves, groups Of birds and
flowers in high relief, etc a neck
lace Of sea-sh lis was very beautifully
carved, as were also bracelets Of rOse,,
composed Of rows OF the flower, linked
together with a Gne gold chain, without
buds or foliage Sprays and cOronets Of
flowers and leaves for the hair were shown,
as well as sets Of every size and style.
Nothing can possibly be imagined more
beautiful than the cOlOriDg Of this new
ieWelry, shading from the most vivid yet
delicate rose color to pIrest white, eXqul-
site in tint as the edges Of the petals
of a rose or the suE-Aushed snow Of an
Alpine peak rising against a summer sun
set. Pink coral has a yellOWish tiuge, but
this new material might be composed Of
petrifed rose leaves for purity aud delicacy
Of hue. Imagine radiant blonde, attired
in palest blue, and with PdrJTe Of these
new Ornaments-the effect would be de-
licious Unfortunately, the fine workman
ship and the beauty of the material make
this new ieWelry almost as costly as coral.
THE work ofexcavating the arena Of the

point near the ruins, and IN
its passage through the Forum, lead

its intermediate course has yet to be un-

of some difficulty, time and expense In

More Trouble in Henry County

This time it is not trouble with coun.

order to cover distractions from the

mediately affecting the body polite as il

upon terms to be agreed upon by the

in said State. After said lands were
transferred to Ohio they were sold tC
farmers, and in few instances sections
reserved to the United States were solo
by mistake And now some real estat,
operator, having discovered this fact
has purchased some of said lands from
the United States, and having an indis
putable title is seeking to gain possession
of the same. The only recourse til,
owners have, as is yet known, is agains
the State, forthe original purchase mon
ey with six per cent interest, as provided
by act of Jan. 30, 1874. As some o.
these farms are worth asmuch as $40, ,OOC
with their improvements, q great injus
tice will be done to innocent purchaser
who have gone on improving their farm
and making them valuable, believing
the deeds upon which they held absolute
unless, by subsequent action, the Stat
indemnifes them for the loss thus oc
casioned.

Not content with the disgraceful issue oi
its successful schemeto defeat Hon. I. r.
Sherwood's denomination in the sixth
District last year, it now seeks to throw
the responsibility of Pratt's defeat upon
Mr.. Sherwood when it is thoroughly
well known throughout the district that
it was the disgust of the people at the
Blades reprehensible course, added to
the known incompetency of its candi-
dates which produced the result. For
weeks before the election it was well
known the candidate was only figure
head, and lacking in every element Of
success. Ignoring these facts, however,
and in spirit of mischief, the Blade
now assails Sherwood as responsible for
Pratt's defeat, in the hopes of defeating
his nomination for Governor.
