Im- mense crowds were present, and New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia. and South Carolina were represented in the military. The oration was delivered by Gen. Devens and addresses were made by Gen. Sherman, Gov. Hartranft, of Penn sylzania, and others.
 A noticeable feature of the. occasion was the presence of Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, from Virginia, with the Norfolk Blues, and the Charleston Light Infantry, also largely ex.Confederate in its composition. These guests were the most enthusiasti- cally applauded of any, and were ionized by the Bostonians during their entire stay. It isn't every arm-in-arm demonstration that signifies thorough reconciliation of enemies, as r.Andrew Johnson very con- clusively proved not many years since; but the presence of these Confederates is an excellent sign of substantial improve ment in feeling.

The public was much surprised by the news, last week, that Tweed had been or dered released by the New York Court of Appeals. The point made by the lawyers of the great Ring-master was that he could be sentenced but for single misdemean- or on . single indictment. The common law rule has generally been understood to be that an offender can be charged with several distinct misdemeanors in appro- priate counts, and sentenced, if the jury convict. to the cumulative penalties on the various counts This the Court of Appeals hold to be unlawful, at least by New York practice. It is understood that nu- merous new indictments will be brought against Tweed so that his success is like to be nominal rather than real.
