During the last four months the i'm
ports have increased over $30,000, 900 as
compared with last year, while the last

fact is the actual aud comparative increase in

unfortunately for some time to come, it is gen.

substantially over. Isolated disturbances are
expected to occur in various localities, but all
TINT has given the trouble nn insurrcctionary
character is ended. The conduct OF the Federal
troops during the troubles has caused considera-
bic popular reaction in their favor.
It is now seen that a standing army
is not necessarily dangerous to
liberty, but rather its preserycr under American
influences. One suggestive feature Of the riots
has been that the presence Of regular troops has
had 10 irritating effect upon the mob, but just
the contrary. Rioters saw in them the cmbodf-
ment Of national power,-which they did not
care to challcnge,-and the trained executive
force OF the Government, which could, If neces-
sary, call million men into tho field The
moral power OF the regular army seldom has
bad SO good an opportunity to manifest Itself.

Special iV[pd&ch to me IT7bune-
New York, July :s3.-Anothcr plan to secure
Tweed's release from prison reveals itself.
William Edleston, Twecd's son-in-law and part
ner, to-day began proceedings in the Supreme
Court as attorney for one George n.
Butt, who swears he has q claim
against Tweed. The proceedings are
brought under an article Of the Revised Statutes
which says that when any person snail have
been actually imprisoned for more than
sixty days upon an execution in any civil action,
any creditor having demand against such per-
son to tho amount Of *25, for which suit
might then be brought, may appeal by
petition to compel an assignment OF the
estate OF such debtor. The Judge to whom
such application is made must summon the
creditors OF the imprisoned debtor toappcar and
determine whether they will unite to petition
all assignment OF his estate. In case they do,
and have claims amounting to two-thir1s Of
this existing, the Court must order the debtor
to assign his estate. Then comes the important
provision that If such imprisoned debtor shall
in all respects comply, and the officer before
whom the proceedings shall be had be satisfied
has made full disclosure Of his property ard the
securities relating thereto, and IFS creditors,
the officer snail grant to such debtor q
discharge from his debts and from his iHpr!son~
ment- Butt swears to claim Of 81 Zoo, and the
petition is for an anassignmcnt on the ground that
he is "pprehensive that Twccds estate will he
wasted OF embczzled. The lawyers have been
at work in this matter for six months,
and evidently rely on some technit1ality
in the STATUTE Since the State has SG,000,000
tion covering two-thirds Of Tweed's estate with
out the State becoming party to tue action
AS the State has just refused Trceds offer Of
assignment, the case does not look promising.
