corpus to be released from the warrant OF
arrest on the requisition of the Governor OF
South Carolina.
There were present, among Others,
Senator Patterson and two OF his counsel, ,
namely, Messrs. Cook and shellabarger
NJ. Lowndes, attorney for South Caroli1 a ,
AMI Marshal Douglass. The Judges opn-
ION WAS elaborate. He denied the power of
the State Of Sou h Carolina to vacate
Senate Patterson's commission, which must
continue until constutionally revoked, IL
pursuance Of organic authority. It could
not be said that Senator Patterson was a
fugitive from justice, as he was here in the
discharge of official duties, like all other
members of Congress, and besides, he had
acted in the capacity Of Senator years before
the present Indictment was brought against
him in the South Carolina court.
Senator Patterson was congratulated on
the result Of hts immediate friends, and

Ex-Mayor Oakley Hall, who was
mixed up with the Tweed ring, but
had so covered his tracks as to es-
cape arrest, has suddenly disappear
ed from the city of New York and
gone-nobody knows where. The
more common opinion is that be has
slipped off to Europe. 1t is not a
little significant, that he should go
just at this time, when some of his
coadjutors in plunder, who took an
earlier start, are just finding their
way back-by arrangement-fOr the
purpose of aiding in an intelligent
settlement of the distinguished plum
der business of that victimized city.
His flight is generally accepted as a
confession of guilt

The inhabitants of Gotham begin

however unseemly and unreasonable
they may appear. The Times tells
us about spring lamb and spring
chickens "becoming more plentiful, %
of vegetables-asparagus, green
peas, in large quantities, and good
quality, and kale and spinach are
brought in from the South. New
potatoes and fresh tomatoes and on
ions come from Bermuda. Straw
berries at wholesaIe-$2.5O and So.
quart are thought to be a little
high for popular use. Fresh Hud-
son River shad, and California salm-
on and trout are sought after with
sharp appetites. A few lots of ex-

Ireland and retail at 81 a barrel.

There is hope, that Tweed, Swee-

frame of mind to compromise with
justice, and make clean breasts of
their knowledge of the parts played
by their partners in iniquity, and
let the public see who bears the
taint, and who has put on an air of
offended innocence and bore away
their swag with a chuckle in the
sleeve. There is probably something
rich in store, the development OF
which, may afford some compensa-
ton for what is left of the gigantic
yet unexpended and unavailable
frauds.

No one yet comes to the front
with those Matthews and Foster let
ters pledging the administration to
South Carolina and Louisiana. If
such bargain was made, signed,
sealed and delivered, binding the
Presidents policy, it is but just that
the revelation should be made to a
waiting world. If no such bargain
was made, it would be more agree
able to the feelings of Messrs. Cor
don and Brown not to be held up as
witnesses to the fact, while the doc
umentary evidence is not demanded
in court.
