pended to the complaint are very voIumlnous
The complaint aud new atidavits are drawn
with careful reference to the two laws passed
by the present Legislature which empower the
State to bring this suit. aud are presumed to
authorize the use of proceedings OF attachment
conourrently with an order of arrest The at
iiayits used OF obtaining the order of arrest
are by Gov. TildeD and others. 1t is under
stood that the suit against Tweed is only a
