mmitting court there has never been any

c mmitting court there has never been any
d Jubt.
Acting on this the Court of Appeals pro-
ceeded to reopen the case, and decided
that the sentence Of Tweed on one indict-
ment must be limited to one offense, and
that his sentence, except SO far as it re-
lated to one offense, was void. AS the
punishment CS25O fine and one year, i'm
prisonmenO for one offense has already
been suffered, he became, of course, en-
titled TO release. 1t is thought by some
that this will profit him but little; but
when it is recollected with what difficulty
his conviction was obtained, what mighty
appliances and subtle arts were resorted to
to defeat justice of her due, the public will
learn with regret that any misstep has been
made in bringing to justice man whose
crimes are undeniable.
Much interest in Tweed's case has been
felt by his former party associates IN this
city. 1t will be remembered that no IN
considerable amount of Tweed's plunder
was used to subsidize Democratic newspa-
pers in various portions of the United States.
Much of the carping and abuse of the Presi-
dent that passed for genuine party zeal,
and some that passed even for patriotism,
was paid for with money stolen from the
treasury of the city of New York. Tweed
was principal owner of the leading Demo
cratic organ here, established during Gen.
Grants first term, as a stepping stone to
the Inauguration of Mr.. Tweed as power
in the National Government. Those who
recollect the reckless denunciation of
what the organ of Mr.. Tweed was fond of
styling the profigate expenditures of the
Government, but who must have long
since seen the foulness of the stream
which fed this fountain of abuse, may now
realize how easy it is for rogues to impute
their own crimes to honest men. This
organ was TWeed's gift to Washington.
Would 1t not be we'll for his former para
sites here to tender public congratulations
to the free air of heaven that it has again
the honor of furnishing breath to the man
who as 1t was boasted, would go his
bottom dollar" to redeem Washington from
corrupt misrule? Some of the delegates
that we're appointed to the Ohio conven-
ton, but have been snubbed by their party
there, might find employment while they
are waiting for something to turn up in
disinfecting Tweed's reputation.

THE RELEASE OF TWEED.

The arm Of justice is shortened. The
success Of the Democrats at the recent elec-
tion in New York has produced one result
at least William n. Tweed, public thief,
convicted and known of all men for his
gigantic robberies, has been discharged from
the prison to which the verdict of jury
and the righteous sentence of the court had
committed him, to serve long term of i'm
prisonment as, in some sort, penalty for
his crimes.
After Tweed had been convicted on q
single indictment of a number Of offenses
and sentenced on each one of them, an ap-
plication for writ of hG6eGs corpus was
made on the allegation that there could be
but one conviction and that of one offense
under a single Indictment. In reply to
this it was urged that the sentence of
Tweed on one conviction for the various
offenses Of which that verdict determined
he was gr;lty was fully warranted by the
law OF -Icv York, and further, that the
question of his just conviction and sentence
was res adjudicat and that the produc-
ton of the record of his sentence by q
court Of general jurisdiction was full re.
turn to any writ of hGbsaS corpus and pre-,
claded further inquiry. s....- d
The Supreme Court of Appeals of New
York held, however, as Mr.. Justice Mac
Arthur held here IN the case Of Irwin, (held
q few months ago by the House of Repre-
sentatives as recusant witness in the Pa.
cifc Mail subsidy Investigation, } that while
the return was prima Jaoie evidence of the

SOME TIME AGO the Cincinnati Gazette

SOME TINE AGO the Cincinnati Gazette
mildly remarked.
''We have word of advice to THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, the best intentiOned in the world.
Drop the Third-term nonsense. 1t smells very
bad. 1t will not do to handle it now. Bury
the thing. Bury it right off. He is poor
friend of President Grant who insists on keep
ing the corpse above ground"
The St. Paul Pioneer Press, quoting
this remark, says: "THE NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN continues to advocate the re-
''nomination of the President with re-
doubled ZEAL" Whilst we accept the
best-intentioned advice in the world, we
seriously object to being misrepresented.
We have never advocated the renomina-
tion of President Grant, although we have
given space in our columns to many COM
munications from Southern Republicans and
others intended to show why he should be
renominated. Our position always has
been, and always will be, that the people
will settle this question to suit themselves;
that common sense and experience teaches
the advIEability Of retaining good men in
political offices the same as they are re-
tanned in private positions; that it is the
sheerest nonsense in the world to attempt
to write unaDrittcn law. The origin of this
Third Term bugbear, it must be remem-
bered, was in the sensational vacuity
known as the Intellectual Department of
the barn-yard organ of the Central Park
wild beasts. We have always treated it in
its personal application to President Grant
as sensation coming from such source
should be treated.

THE New York Herald declares that it

THE New York Herald declares that it
''likes Vice President Wilson for one quail
''ity at least, and that is his courage" No
one will doubt Mr.. Wilson's courage who
has had occasion to watch his remarkable
career as public man. He has given evil
dence of it in many instances, not the least
prominent of which is his habit of speak
ing out in meeting" as the saying is, ana
injuring his party by the indiscreet deduc-
tions of too casual observation of the politi-
cal situation. But we yield him the credit
of being honest in his convictions, however
ill-founded they may be. This quality
should also attract the admiration of the
Herald on the ground that it is natural that
it should admire in others the qualities it
does not possess itself

THE Richmond Whig, replying to a re-
cent article in these columns regarding the
disorganization of the colored vote in the
South. e. the practical disfranchisement
of the blacks-assumes that 1.-the carpet
"baggers and other emissaries of the Re-
publican Administration organized and
"banded the colored people on the line Of
"color, and have kept them SO organized
"and banded, aRd that if the ascendency
"of that party is broken the colored people
twill be free to vote as they choose; that
Gas race party they will be disorganized. "
The Whig knows as well as we do that the
cline of color" is not the result of the
efforts of those terrible "emissaries," but
is the natural consequence Of the policy Of
non-intercourse-political non intercourse
we mean, for there are other kinds of in
tercourse that are not rejected by some Of
the whItes-pursuel by the sham Couser-
vative party in Virginia and elsewhere.
The last convention held by that party in
that Stste described itself as the Gentle
mems Convention, and boasts were made
that its membership did not include sim
gle black delegate. 1t is about time that
journal so pretentiously intelligent as the
Wing should abandon the foolish attempt
to deceive the public with the false assertion
that the "color line in politics is the re-
suit Of Republican management. That
idea will not go down with respectfully
informed people.

"REcoEcuIATI0E's THE WORT" !"

While hundreds and thousands of citizens
from every section of the Union are engaged
in the laudable endeavor to heal the wounds
of civil strife, the malcontents of the South
continue to keep alive the dissensions of the
war by the publication of such articles as
the following from the Charlotte IN. c.
Observer:
"The Honorable old d!'John Browns soul un-
doubtedly goes marching on, but the question
should be, where are his bones? Who, alas,
has thought of his grave! Why should it not
be decorated too? Are there not flowers
enough in the Sunny South to spare festoon
for the grave of Ossawattomie? Are there
not fair, forgiVing hands in this our Southern
land who would gladly arrange a wreath of
roses for the tomb of emancipation's first mar
tyrl Let us have no halfway millennium, no
common cat and dog truce, but q regular lion
and lamb affair. Unless the reconciliation is
complete the Democrats may fail to elect their
candidate for President next year. If Miriam,
instead of singing songs of joy over the buried
hosts of Pharaoh, had only struck a sorrowful
chord and wound up with q dirge to the long
meter-doxology tune, Moses might have re,
crossed the Red Sea and been elected Pharaoh's
successor. Ossawattomie may have been over
looked this year, but he'll not be forgotten
next year. After dieting on Confederate
ton for ten years, the savory odor Of
the Federal flesh pots Is very enticing. We
can read in imagination the New York Herald
of May 80, 1875: The Decoration of the Grave
of ..OssaWattomie Brown, Great Enthusiasm,
&c.-Ex-Governor Henry A. Wise presiding;
General Forrest, Marshall; Mosby, Master Of

sia, Khan of Tartary and Sultan of Turkey

conciliation's the word. 1t impreguates the
atmosphere. One can smell 1t on the door
knob and taste it on the dipper. We do not
wish Ben Butler any harm, but we should like
to have chance to decorate his grave just to
see how it would feel-we are so thoroughly
reconciled we would decorate it as cheerfully
as we would that of an ex-freedman's bureau
agent. Let us go the whole hog. The bum
mers' have not been forgotten. Give the
'Buffaloes' and 'BushwackerS' q chance"

Forty nine years ago next Fourth of July,
Col NJ Frank, formerly a citizen of this city'
highly respected, delivered a Fourth of July
Grafton at Virgil, in the county of Courtland,
in the State of New York. He has been in
vited by the old residents of that town to de-
liver the same Grafton in the same place "a
church, on July 4, 1876. He has accepted the
invitation, and should his life and health be
continued to that time, which God grant, he
will repeat the Grafton on the Centennial OF
our Independence which he delivered on the
fftieth anniversary of that event.
Colonel Frank above mentioned is resi-
dent of Wisconsin, and now clerk in the
office of the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury.
If nothing intervenes to prevent his delivering
the one hundredth anniversary oration in the
same town and in the same church edifce In
which he delivered the fftieth, it will be a
rare coincidence.

Ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia, wants to
be member of the United States Senate from
that State, and why shouldn't he be? He is a
Democratic carpet-bagger, and carpet-baggers
rule the South. OF course he must go to the
United States Senate. A seat in the House of
Representatives is not in keeping with the dig
nifty of man who followed up Ben Buffers
army with sutler shop and made his living
by selling poisonous whisky to the boys in
blue. Certainly the "sacred soilers' should
have him represent them in the United States
Senate.

Second 70 Nnna.

CFrom the Waterloo (E. Y.3 Register.I
When the Washington REPUBLICAN of the
10th instant reached us we supposed that q
whole batch of our subscribers had ''gone
back on US" and returned their papers in q
bulk, but to our surprise upon opening the
package we found the largest issue of single
copy of any newspaper ever printed in the
United States, with single exception. It
contains the list Of delinquent taxpayers and
every item Of unpaid taxes in the District of
Columbia for ten years past, occupying more
than ffty-tWo pages of The REPUBLICAN. An
immense amount of material was required,
and we are confident that no other ofiee in
the United States outside of the city Of New
York has the facilities for turning out such q
piece of work. TIE REPUBLICAN has one of
the finest and most complete offices in the
country and is second to no newspaper estab-
lishment in America, without exception.

A Political Hole.

CFrom the Madison (Ind.) Courler.1
The course of the Democratic press in re-
gard to the "Third Term" since the publica-
ton OF Gen. Grants letter to the Pennsylva-
mia Republican State convention, reminds us
of Beecher's story of the dog Towser. The
dog ran q squirrel into hole In an old log,
would go to the log and bark at the hole.
The Democratic press made political hole of
this Third-term business. There was never any
thing in it, nevertheless continual barking
was kept up at it. And now the Democratic
barking is continued from habit.

Grant Looked QuiEzioaI.

President Grant, few days ago, having
glanced at sherman's "Memoirs," said that so
far as he had read he found the statements in
the book accurate and just in the main. HaV-
ing read further and obtained more correct
idea, he is now moved to criticise the "Me-
moirs' in his usual sententious vein, thus:
'Well, / am beginning to find out that didn't
have much to do with the last war" We
can imagine that Grant looked quizzical when
he said It, and that Sherman will feel cheap
when he hears of IL

whites, there will be but one party in Georgia" !"
In other words, the blacks are to be kept
down if they will not support an exclusively
white mans panty. If they do SO vote they
will be kept down all the same. They seem
to be very much in the condition of the traveller
in India, who saw tiger ready to spring upon
him from one side, while huge serpent was
ready to sieze him on the other. We believe
that the story ends with the tiger leapin2 SO
high as to miss the traveller and fall into the
tolls of the serpent The Democratic device is
likely TO meet with a similar fate. Even ras-
eality must put on some show of deceney to
triumph
