THE Supreme Court of New York has
at last bafiicd the efforts of Tweed to escape
from legal responsibility for stealing S.
0O0,0 from the city treasury. The Court
directs that trial on the merits of the case
shall take place Immediately, and gives
Tweed seven days to file his answer.
Tweed has been using for his own protection
the proceeds of his crimes, but there is at
last prospect that the plundered city will
recover something.
THE Philadelphia EDeniag Herald, Oc-
tober 2, says "On car No. 10 on the
Market street passenger railroad yesterday,
young woman got on the car carrying an
infant in her arms and inquired of the con-
ductor if his car ran near the almshouse. She
was then asked by the genial conductor if
she contemplated leaving the child there,
to which she replied in the Affirmative A
lady in the car looked at the child and said,
oh give it to me- and the mother deli
berately handed over the child as uncon-
cerncdly as possible, and left the car.
AFTER ALL, New York justice, at least
as applied to Boss Tweed, does not appear
to be such very bad article 1t is true
that Judge Donohue, in decreeing that the
! Commonwealth's counsel should furnish
bill Of particulars, when such bill was i'm
possible, because Tweed had had the youch-
crs stolen and destroyed, went as far as he
could 20 to make justice farce, but the
Supreme Court has overruled Judge
Donohue, and also decided that the $1,000
600 bail demanded by the Commonwealth
was not excessive, the court holding that,
although such bail bond was without pre-
cedent, so was Tweed's crime of stealing
| S6,000,000 without precedent. Altogether,
Wednesday was a rather bad day for the
Boss" and the prospect of remaining in
LUDLOW street Jail for long time to come
Is all the comfort he has from the Supreme
Court, unless it be the other prospect of
having to disgorge his ill-gotten gains. 1t
is some satisfaction to know that even in
New York, where the courts are not pre-
ciscly all they should be, the greatest thief
of the age, and the richest, can be com
PEELED to pay the penalty of his crime. The
Court of Appeals has yet to review the
work of the Supreme Court; bat that
Tweed will end his miserable life in jail,
fighting for his liberty, is altogether rea-
sonable supposition.
