honored and respected by & large class of the community in which you lived, and, I have no doubt, beloved by your associates; you, with moet important trusts devolved upon you, and with every opportunity, by a faithful discharge of your duty,, to wia the honor and respect of the whole community, saw fit to abuse and pervert the powers with which you were clothed, in à manuer more infamons and more outrageous than ever shown in any instance of like character which the history of #t e civilia:d world disctoros.Indlesd of pre.tecting the public you plundered it.Instead of standing guerd where the law placed you, over the treasury of your county, you threw it Open=not merely to your Own rapscity, but to the avarice of your assoclates under circumstances which make {t transparent that thero was a concerted conspiraey te plaader the treasury of this county in erder to enrich yourself and your associates im crime.The evidence on that subjoct can leave no moral doubt of your guilt, When wo soe in operation the machinery of sb Inventive genius and observe that at each revolution a fixed quantity of some mentlac- tured article is turnud out, we argue from that sesult that it is the work of n miod in which thought and reflection have developed them- solves in that particular form.And when we sce the machinery through which you operated producing a similar result, always aliko in form, it ls impossible Lot to se that behind its operations lay a concerted conspiracy by which you, in common with the others who shared the pluader, were able to reap the fruits of grave and awful crimes.It de in valn to suggest that your trial and conviction Lave been the result of any partl- san feeling, or that the effort to briag you to justice bas been à etrogglo\u2014as one sommoncd «s a jaror said\u2014betwoen \u2018the ins\u201d and «\u201c the outs.\u201d No, the whole contest has been a struggle between honesty and fraud, between virtues and crime.While it istrue thet one great and powerful leading paper in this city, belonging to a particular party, was tho first to dray to light and bold up to the public eye these infamous fraude, yet it is equally true that prominent and bonorable men of all parties united to investigate and develop their true character.It would be wrong, it would be unjast to ea- tertain for one momont the idea that your comviction bas been tha result of persecution at the bands of any persou or any party.It bas been the result of the nacertalnment of the truth and of tbe production of evidence so clear and plain that never ip iny experience or in my reading have I seen a case where the Proof was re utterly overwhelming, or where it wes s0 impoesitle for the jury to fail to ses the truth, Through the wholo of this tris] until your conviction you have remained asca\u2019m and serene as if you relled upon innocence for an acquittal, while it was over- whe imiogly apparent that your serenity was only sudacity\u2014an audacious confidence in the ombipotetce of corruption rather than reliance upon integiity snd funocence.It ls the duty o! the Court to pionounce upon you a sentence that may be in som: degree adequate to your crimes.Jadge Davisthen delivered the 51 senitances, beginning with the fourth count, and seatenc- ing tbe prisoner for the term of 12 years\u2019 imprisonment and e total fine of $12,750.18, The varied emotions of Tweed during the delivery of the long sentence could be read in the changes of bis countenance and bis manner, and when the Judge began to prouounce he several tcrms be looked the look of despair, and received each sentence as though it were à lash that cut straight to the heart, TO PRISON.Asscon es (he sentence was tiniehed, T weed mt down, looking bewildared.Deputy Sheriff Judson Jarvis at the same moment came forward and suggested to him to retire into the Sheriff's private room peading the completion of the commitment papers.He obeyed mechanically, and walked away, accompanied by his sons und others.Hers ho remained until midnight, awsiting the formal commitment, and the result of applications he had made through counsel for & stay of proceed- lsgs.The failure of the applications was communicated to Tweed, atthe Bherit\u2019s oftice, about balf-past 10 o'clock, and be turned away bitterly dissppointed, Shortly after, he asked ibe commitment papers were ready, and «I am to be sent to the County Jall; that is Ludlow ot., is it not ?\u201d .+ No,'* answered one of his counsel; ': the County Jail ror criminal ofiences is the Penl- tentiary on Blackwell's Island.\u201d \u2018This announcement completed the work of humilistion, Tweed was afterwards removed tothe Tombe aa already reported.OPINIONS OF TUR PRESS.(YF, Tribune.) \u2018The most enormous and notorious combing.ton for political corruption which our times have seen was the New York Ring.Tweed \u2018waa unquestionably the most notorious if not the most gulity of that combination.His c1imes deserved the severest punishment,and hie punishment would be wore bemeficial than that of any other man.The (full rigor of the law has been put In force against him.His sentence fe virtually that of perpetual impri.eonment.At hle age,be could bardiy hope to survive an imprisonment of twelve yearr, with or without bard labor.\u2018The civil Life of ibis once powerful snd wealthy political chieftain closed on Baturday, and it will not be long before the rumors from his prison will die away and he be confounded with the crowd of lower and loss gulity felons, Every one will draw the obvious moral of this ruin, but it would seem more gonerally advantageous If the lesson could be learned that he never was really sncosssful.He was called enermouely rich, and in fact 1t ie clear- y red that he bad stolen more than & million, and Increased that sum by lucky speculations.But honest je can soatosly {maging what Recessary anes he found for all his focome., When a man salls a pirate craft he cannot atint his crew.Tweed required the co-operation literally of thousands to secure and retain command of the means et plonder ; and rogues Insist npon better pay than honest folks, In hie day of power It is sid he sustained no leon than thirty political clube, He spent enough mcuey for cham.Pagne each year to dower & decent familys.\u201ced most of bis supporters preferred whiskey.When à man rises by hovest means he fin ol every atep bia acquaintance inoronslo tao the lasses marked by the same quali- genius, or culture, or suterprise, ae those by which he bas advanced.Bat wha hs gains bave been accomplished by diskon.et or disreputable practices, a vold ls created sound him by the public coneclence, and he Las no escape from solitude © amoeg lo- or creatures of his own kind.If Tweed Nad lived In power, snd died out of Jail, be could never have been called à happy or suc- Comful map.\u2018The lesvou of the rise and the All of such as be wus ie that it docs pay to telat thew, and does not pay te imitate them, MONTREAL, TUESDA (NT.Bmer) There is no doubt that the nows that Tweed was actoally iu the Tombs was & great surprise to many thowsands of people, and eapeclally to the class that may be described ag his adherents, The conviction was generally unexpected, the sentence\u2014compre- hensive in its scope, aad unrelenting lu its character\u2014was not lesa #0.But oven thess did not proçare the public mind for the spectacle of the chief of the corruptiontsts actually in priscn * * * .Tho thing we would like our roaders to notice in connection 1s that the machinery for the punishment of criminals has not been changed to accomplish the result that fills everyones with a sense of incredulity, pleased or otherwise.Our laws are the same a8 when Barnard fssuod stays of proceedings by rcleguaph, and the Erie war was waged by volleys writs and counter-writs from all over the State.Our jury system has been somewhat altered, but all the powers which intimes past have been abused fu the interest of malefactors exist still in the hauds of our Judges.It is the men who have been changed.The prosecution of an offence against the people, committed bya plunderor who uses his booty to pay his lawyers\u2019 bills, is etill a slow process, but it is no longer a vain ons.The subsiitntion of and man fn: bad on the Bench has made tho result of a well.founded prosecution as certain 66 anythiog lu law can be.(NV.F.Herald.) At last the portly tate is fallen.The mighty man of mm pal politics is down; surely at the lowest ebb of his forta sounding very legitimately all the dopthe and shoals of dishonor ; an object of pity even to the paltry wretches who but s short timesiacu rejolccd in gathering up the crumbs of his plunder.\u201cIt le like the sound of the fall of a mighty oak in the stillness of tho forest\u201d \u2014 en occurrence that has its lmpressive side, and in that direction may easily run into mistaken sympathy and pity ; and its worl side, aa it tells well for the public s-use of rectitude that punishment was possible.It isin the constitution of the human mind that the fall of whatever has any attribute of great- nese, and is not altogether horrible, shall be regarded with mingled ¢mottons of surprise, pity and regret.And all these in varying degree will be excited by Tweed's fate.even with persons who can have no possible sympathy with his ciimes; for there was an sttractive eplendor in the magnitoie of bis misdoings, there was a kind of rotten glory about him tbat made him loom ass Seventh ward Rob Roy.la contemplating the unfinished side of that new Court House one canuot bat fancy that the audacious avarice that grasped « million on tbe contrects would, on another field, have divided laurels with Warren Hastings, or belittied tho story of that Roman Varres who lives in Cicerca amber.But they were magnates when they began, and this was only a mender of old chairs.That is the little addition our republican system makes to the universal story of official thoft\u2014 an equal chance to become an illustrious rogue is open to all, and the bumblest canuot complain that even this possibility is closed against him.\u2014\u2014 GLENGARRY ELECTION.ARITRE OF Noë.D.A.MACDONALD.The nomination took place'et Alexandria on Tuesday morning, when the following gentlemen were nominated : \u2014 Hon.D.A.Macdonald, moved by John Stewart, Charles Leclair, James Fraser, Alex.B.Macdonald, Robert McLennan, Robert Bleck wood, David Mo) and sesended ty Willlam Bathurst, Danijel Campbell, O wen Quigley, D McDermott, M.D., A.EB.McCrae, Alexender B.Macdonald, Poter Kennedy.Duncan A.Macdonald, John D.Campbell and William B Stewart, Mr.B, Devlin, of Montreal, by Duncan A, Macdonald and Hobert Wilson.Mr.Archibald McNab, by Jobn Simpson azd Cosmos Kerr.Hon.D.A.Macdonald, ou presesnting him self, was greeted with cheers.He mid he appesred before the electors at the close of the sixteenth year of bis parliamentary career, a8 representative of the county of Glen.garry, previous to which his late brother had represented them for seventeen years.He referred to his recent vislt to Europe, sud said that, baving considered, so far as bis limited opportunity enabled him to do, the different systems of government, he was more than ever convinced that the British constitution was the best In the world, and the one wo should endeavor to perfect ln Canada.Ue then went over the history of the last session, and the Pacific Scandal, and coming down to the accession of the new Goverment sald it had been proclaimed throngh the country that they were aguinst the constinction of the Pacific and Intercolouial Bali ways and the dsep- ening of the canals.He wouid say that he hed once thonght that our canals were spring styles.\u2018a Tuieh Boots 175 Mari 1H 818 Bugs Thick Boots.12 215 a Kip.da 14 @ 38 i = igi oo is in nis 128 li 58 12: I 1% ao fue un do A ê 0% do Pebbied and Bot Halo se 0m ots per doses ta @ Hw Moose Muomsins du woe L® Raw FURS \u2014There $10 chaRES 0 note tn qu Li tions.v».EY , Black, isrge ping , lack, sual.me su Fes, Bil (6600 f= mea 10 100 88 ime iu Tw eu 1e Ju 108 140 100 130 «med ue a 0 1% Le à 0 ® Lungs.~Trade cot 80 brisk as isst week, Prices uncbarged, sxoept 8 3licht reduction in Lie atoek.Rbipping Cult boards 01500 ver M fr.Sin uit bine Dea AME NW per WE pos Dead cull deals.SWW WW > 1,2, aod 3qual.Pine 3 Fi un de da Spruce 100 @ LW do do do do Hewluek 119 @ 110 45 il tn Epruce Deals #09 per 100 pos Wainy .Ymemmperk te .o ew id.FETE @ oo anne 0 pr.100 pes Fsentiing.Ergo saw pine.A0 per thousan$ Go second quality.2K @ 30 IROX ANU HARDWARE.~The close of nariza:irs tas tended to materially increase the du'nessof se which bas bitberto ailed and be are jous to soil rather (haa winter their toi bewever light they may be.There ia no chanz: note lo prises.s se a 3 BR #55 nN SUD HM 40 BDI AR EER EA Glo Guim ie 13 30 = £28 Bid.E 8 12818 Hoop an .avan À 10515 Soler Plate, rands.o do Co Xd qual do « on Out Nadis 1816 to io de 15820 do #ibto ta Om do tH ely & 12200 | # 1gil a0 in 199 | do NM QUE & 1 8au do 6 10 & mgm de 7 iW do 40 u 80 a IK Mm 4 ug gui @ 3 i$ pox Ew ® 70) 22 0 AE ES à 4 1459 ® 6109 gga iw Wa wusr 13 @ 1% 0e 7148 M 224 whi 5 $ eau 3 1121 WHOLESALE GHOCERY MARKET, MONTREAL, Friday, Nov.1, The carly close of navigation bas deteingé 114 now Giverted 10 the railway © eonsideravle quantity of \u201cdon oczars de 1be business, ené wa rary iw.toma tv fcr which would be 7 point of grave moment to to the real parmansnt y.with © aed nd which probably 1s ow.ny rly to na onity.Frioss are sai) de.re Megned steady as sdvanse reportes.TEAR de |9 getting into a healthier gondition, 66 ue domac and auppiy than Mormer:y tonntice.Japans keep Sem st place nf lon te New York cn Tuesd: es AND SYRURE \u2014À steady market, ards fur the better gtades vf « at foret © P À #0od éral of Coffee bas arrived ia the U.0, but the effort to Reez the Market up goniiauss with most Coffers.Current values {a chiof markete ht be ered mr to el apo.Java Bingaacis ne 0 Mie: Marraceibo ils Wo to Me.ratherinore firmly.at $413 to W.¥ Dew, Pis BALLS B70 Dr: Ihe, Currants are No \u2018hou the market is su, al mands higher quan: liberte pot pleut: Be tye tor new arop: Welsats from ie npwal Oricks Arm.54 Me 40 040;
