ceived in New York. 80
The news of the decision of the Court
of Appeals granting Tweed's release
reached the city about eleven O'Clock
yesterday morning, and was imme-
diately posted on the bulletins Of the va
rious newspapers. Crowds Immediately
gathered around and the greatest inter-

bit little else was spoken OF, showing
the peculiar feeling which Tweed's fate
still excited in all classes,ot the public.

came from the mouths of lookers-on, and
it was none the less singular that these
sentiments generally partook of a feel
