til released by order of the Court.

torney Corbin, counsel for the

siderable suppressed excitement.

New YORK, Nov. 81. - Thurlow
Weed visited Tweed in jail; the for
mer afterwards told a reporter he
passed an hour and a half with
Tweed, and found him in far better
health than he expected. He had
grown thinner, but this he deemed |
an improvement, and he regarded |
him as far better than when he last
saw him. Tweed told him he had |
escaped on the evening of his drive,
straight on board a yacht which
conveyed him to the vessel on which
he sailed for Cuba. From the hour
of his starting TO the present he had |
suffered only from a slight attack of
diabetes, shortly after the Franklin
left Vigo. He has as yet formed
no idea as to what course of action
he would take; that was under the
consideration of his counsel. He
had no unkind feeling toward any
one. The government had his bag
gage and were welcome to what it
contained. They could not find
word that would implicate any one.
He thought Tilden had acted harsh
ly toward him, but he had nothing
to say in retaliation, and would not
say it if he had.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 27. The State
Supreme Court to-day continued the
case of contempt VS.. District Attor-
ney Corbin, counsel for the board
until tomorrow. The coun ell for
the Sheriff of Riehland county, who
had the canvassers in custody, stated
to the Supreme Court that members
had been taken from him by Aabeas
corpus, and was ordered to file copies
of papers in court to morrow. Gen.
Ruger arrived tonight from Talla-
hassee.
New YORK, Nov. 37.---The Her.
AIDS Columbia special estimates that
Chamberlain game is to get the
Democrats to commit some overt
breach of the law, so as to call on
the military. The release of the
board of canvassers to-day is really
a worse and more daring judicial
usurpation than discharging them
after hearing the cause, and decid-
ing them to be illegally deprived of
their liberty. They are now dis
