eighty miles OF New-York and would probably arrive
early yesterday morning spread rapidly through the c'y
and long before there possibility OF seeing The
rigate crowd gathered at the Battery, and opera
glasses and telescopes were pointed toward staten
Island each eazer hoping to catch the first glimpse OF
the towering masts Of the franklin. AT quarter before

had passed Ocean Grove. Two hours later she was
sighted from Highland Light and was reported
as lying to waiting for high tide. About 10

on the scene and seated himself in the ship

Navy-Yard which was to take hin out 10 the Franklin.
Col Jacob Sharpe, the representative OF the United
States Government quietly attended to his ab0s in the
barge office until summoned to the special duty u re-
ceiving Tweed from Capt Franklin and transferring him
TO the representative OF the NewYork authorities.
When the summons reached him he started
for the Battery, where the tug boat Catalpa
from the NavyYad had just arrived, and had taken on
board sheriff Conner, Dlstriot-Attomey Phelps aud
United states Attorney Bliss. At 1910 the
Catapa steamed down the bay and was soon out OF
sight. The crowd OF watchers increased, and many
were the INQUIRIES as to the time when tho notorious
prisoner might be expected, the general impression
being that he would landed al the point from which
the Catalpa had started.
Nothing definite Was heard until about y. m, when
word was recei at the ship Office hat the Frank
lin had crossed the bar that the Cataipa alongside,
and tine representatives OF the National and state GOV
ernments had Just boarded the fTigae. little later the
Franklin was reported at anchor the Southwest

peetant crowd At o'clock the Catalpa announced
TO be coming up the bay, Hnd half an hour later
TO have passed Upper Quarantine. At the
same time the Franklin was stated TO he Off

was now felt In the magnificent h1gate; with the de
parture Of Tweed from her dco she had become matter
OF secondary importance, ana all eyes were now turned

Mr. Phelps said he could not state positively at present
