Boss Tweed :sas released from Jail
last week. A New York paper Sums
it up in this way The Court of APP
peais has unanimously reversed the
Judgment of the Supreme Court in the
case of Wm. NJ. Tweed, and has order
ed his discharge. The option of the
Court is lengthy, aud recites the case
fully. 1t holds that that the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer exceeded its juris-
diction in sentencing Tweed to eumr
lative punishment and pronouncing sew
eral judgments on a single indictment.
The power of the codrt in the case was
exhausted By one sentence, to impris-
onment for one year aud the payment
of fine of two hundred aud fifty dol
lars. The Jurisdiction of the court
over the prisoner is DOW exhausted, as
though 10 prosecution had ever been
instituted against him. The indict
ment in Tweed's case is probably With
out precedent, and the only justifca-
tion OF the sentence is in the fact that
great wrong had been perpetratod. The
punishment for single misdemeanor
seemed inadequate, owing to the ex
cited state Of the public mind, and
Tweet's conviction called for what
seemed to be thought approximate vim
dicatior of justice and punishment of
the offender. The Court bold that
neither Justice nor true reform can be
advanced by illegal acts, and orders
that the Judgment aud orders Of the
Supreme Corrt and of the Oyer and
Terminer be reversed and the prisoner
discharged. Preparations have been
made for bis re arrest, and it is said
that unless be secures bail in S3 3,000,-
600 he will be taken to Ludlow street
Jail. The arrest is to be made in civil
suits.

On the 18th inst, terrific storm OF

trail portion of the State Of Missouri,

palled at the prospective damage to the

If the courts in Tennessee keep on
