8 “WM. M. TWEED. ing Arguments on the Motion to Discharge from Arrest or Reduce Bail. ‘An Imprisonment Without Show of Authority. Ingenious Plea for the Release of the Incarcerated Boss. Papers Taken by the Court and Decision Reserved. Farther argument on the application to vacate the order of arrest against Wiliam M. Tweed in the new suit agaist him orto reduce the ball | Jrom $2,000,000 was had yesterday in Supreme | Court, Chambers, before Judge Barrett, The court room was crowded, many having come hoping ‘that Tweed would be there and wishing to uote ‘The tmprovement in him, ff any, since changing Ris quarters ‘rom the Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island to Ludlow Street Jail, a namber being present out of idle curesity and having nothing elise to occwpy their attention, but by far tue | greater majority attending from a desire to hear | those Nestors of tne New York Bar, Charies | ©’Conor and Davia Dudley Field, This latter | class were looking for a contest in the legal | arena between these two renowned experts, | which, though difering from a regatta or a | horse race, was in its way fuliy as spirited and exciting, with the additional spicy Savor of there | being millions in it, Suen, nowever, were | doomed to disappointment, Mr, O’Conor was not | present, and Mr. Field had it all his own way. Beginning his argument at twelve o'clock Mr. Wield spoke for pearly an hour and a half, vat | though to # cousiderable extent he went over the same ground as did Dudley Field on the previous @ay, his argument & Whole was pronounced one of the clearesi, most logival and tncontro- vertible he hasever delivered, and in short a | masterly e@ort. Of course @ good Geal of it was ‘ecessariiy ary and technical, but its maiu fea ‘tures will be found in the subjoined report, If the Court please, he began, it may conduce to your understanding of the question arising upon %his motion to take note of the date of certain Sransactions in the litigation. In 1871 three ac_ tions were brought against the defendant for Bubstantially the same cause of action—one by the State, one by the county and one by the city. In ‘the last a summons only was served. In the sec_ nd issue was joined, the case m ready for Srialand for several years remaining so, the plain- ‘tif having now moved it, The third action, that of the State, has undergone various vicissitudes, jo defendant was arrested and held to bail in demurred, and a Special ‘term was the argument. Ube demurrer 4 the defendant appealed to Ge "Term, a General called in midsummer to hear the appeal and the Order was affirmed. The answer wai 0 putin, aud for nearly three years that case bas been Yeady for trial and no trial ever moved by the nti, Ingersoll, a codefeniant in tuat suit, jo demurred and Bppeal to the Gener: tained. Plaintifs t ppeais, in June, 1974, it was decided wyer in the State, [ think—aimost An ine State—except the jew who met in what ‘they chose to call the Bureau of Municipal Cor- | Feetion, namely :-—T! the State had mo rigat | Yo suo the d jant at ail. The litiga- tion thus stood uutonched by the plain- aids until March, 1875, the defendant stand- ‘Ing on the defensive and plaintifis making Do movements against him, Meantime these entiemen meeting in the Bareau of Municipal -orrection appeared—I can only state from ap- | eurances—to have taken into thelr heads that it a vetter ory to spite the Court of Appeals Shan to try the other two cases, and went into the Legiziature, where, alter industry and os stence, they obtained a law which is now before ‘She Court; and then, on March 20, 1875, the plain- Bin’s attorneys went before Justice Davis, ‘Without netice to the defen perder to discontinue that suit, and also that the costs be paid, Inough that order was ovrained ‘on the 20th of March 1t was not served or no- tice whatever given to the celendan orneys Wntll the 6th of April. On this same 20tn ef March She plalutifl’s attorneys obtained from Mf. Justice | @o order to arrest the defendant and hold | 10 ball in $3,000,000, ‘That order was kept | ‘kK until the 22d of June, when it was served, | Peckham—Tbat order was delivered at the Bame time with the summons OB the 6tn Of April, br about that tine. Mr. Field—Does that appear by the papers ? Mr. Pockham—Yes, sir, Mr. Fieid—1 don’t Know where \t appears. I say the order was kept back by somebody; by whom | i would like to kuow. | Mr. Feckbam—It was kept back by nobody, } Mr, Field—i say {t was not served; and, as the | man is fond of yolunteerivg twiermation, I mould a8k Were directions given rot to serve it | until the decis! of the Court of Appeals was Fendered; aud 1 would like to know if no oirece Bions were given to the Sleriff not to arrest the Geiendant until he was released by the Court of | anpene ? T. Peckham—No, sir; how he could be arrested ‘when in criminal custody | don’t know. Mr. Field—There was No arrest, at all events, It |@ppears, umtii the 22d of June. Now, on the dtu of April the plaintif’s atterneys applied to Mr. Justice Barrett for a warrant of attacament on the game papers exactly as those on which the oraer Ol arrest Was made, and obtained ao attachment agunst ail defendant’s property; delivered it to With instructions to serve lt oo all of Gelendant’s property; on Which the Sherif has certified that he bas attacied thirty-seven pieces ‘of realestate and given uotice underthe act to Seven alleged hoiders of personal estate; simul- Taneously with Whica, since the gentieman pas spoken l may say, the newspapers avounded in loterviews with plaintif’s counsel, in which they ‘Were made to teli Woas they Ned done aua what they intended to co, Mr. Peckbam—That was all imagination. Mr. Fleid—it was imagination, but got into print some way. Now, the defendant being unacr arrest, makes @ motion to vacate the order or ‘that the bail be reduced. The questiem presented is, Whether, according to the law of ti a defendant under the Circumstances cau be w ed aud Kept im prison until he dnas, what no re Duman being supposes any man in this country | can Ond when charged vy tne state with an in- | Gedtecness of $6,000,000, Dall im $4,000,000; that is, be committed Without ball, for it is equivalent to that. 1t is no argument to say that tae defendant is ob witu a great wromy. He is s0 wed; whether it will be proved or not dep one triai, The question is whetmer wefore trial, on ex parte aifidayits, it is permitied by the law that a Gefendant shall be committed without bail.

They get aiong with it, tof whe Legislature that the And here let me pause to make It 1s and I think truly, that in times o! war or civil commotion We are apt to loge sight of the ancient landmarks of the law and uarantees of perso’ rights. On no other | theory i816 to be e: ined that in this State, | | these consequenees staring us io the | face, jourteen ac! if lam correctiy informed, | were obtained of the Legislature, retrospective In their operation, to affect this defendant. Now, when the history of these times comes tu be writ- ten, it will be said with reproach that we have overieapt all the barriers set up by Our fore- fathers, and, in delauit of Muding law, have gone to work to make law to reaco a defendant. Why, sir, Ihave nos the slightest doubt that nothing but the constitution has prevented the passage of a vill oF attainder against Mr, Tweed. These are wr- tually acts Of attainder. They are intended | agect him im & manner not known | wo w law when the transactions took place with which he is charged. This law, what wit? “Wren any money held by any monicipal corporation for any public interest 3, herete- fore, without right, been obtained by ay one, the State has im every such case, and shall Dave, a Tight of action for the same and for avy damages obtained.” Now, one of two consequences iol- low, eitner that act rehabilliates, puis on its feet | tbe action that was then ae against the ae- fendant or it is prospecti¥e only in its operation. If itis declaratory, to tee emect that the action | Whick the Court of Appeals decided could not stand, shall nevertheless stand and be a good | suit, does it make any diiference If they discon- | tinue that suit and the next moment bring an- | | other like it? Usama they by asortot legerdemain apply to you on one. side of the bench jor an ‘order discontinuing one suit | aod then on the other side get am order of arrest | for the same thing, on the strength and faito of | that act? Bus, regarded as prospective tn its | | operation, can it Rave any effect? Is | competent tor the Legislature to take from | the county of New York the funds that belong | {to that “county and its creditors and | vest (hem in the Statey Isayit cannot be done. Bur, suppose lam in error so far, that tne State | can sue, and that tue defendant is liabie, where | is the right toexact $3,000,000 bail? The whole | | theory of bail is subverted by it; that every man | before judgment shall be a iree mau tt he cen get anyoody to answer for him, exeept in certata | capital cases; that bis itberty suall mot be in- vaded unui alter a trial,if his neignbors | proger reasonavie security that he shail be forthcoming. Mr, Field read from the act of | | Wiliam and Mary, that exce-sive bail shall not | be required, and quoted from the Wilkes case ag to what was excessive bali, He then considered | | the next question, how stood the case as the | fourth action, The argument divided itsel! into the no get along With u they Say, by the THE KEHOE WIFE MURDER. A BOY OF EIGHT YEARS TESTIFYING AGAINST US FATWER—THE PRISONER ON THE SLAND— HE DENIES THE CHARGE POSITIVELY. The trial of Patrick Kehoe ior the alleed mur- er of his wile was resumed in the Court of Oyer and Terminer at Jersey City yesterday, Judge Knapp called to the witness box Peier > Kehoe, the little son of the prisoner, and asked him several questions, He said he was eight years old, attended Sunday school, knew that he Would be punisved for telling lies, and that he would teli the truth in this case. The Cierk was then directed to read the oath slowly, and the Court having explained it the boy was sworn, He testified as follows:—I have lived with my aunt, Mrs. Henley, since my mother died; that is my er, sitting over there; mother died ona Friday; don’t remember the day of the month she died; saw her sitting on the stairs, near Mrs, Johnson's door, at three o'clock in the afternoon; the baby was asleep up stairs; father came in | alter 1 went up stairs and told me to take of his shoes; my mother was sitting on the sofa; alter I took off his shoes he hit mother in the Lead with one of them; she was then standing up; she fell down when he hit her; sbe fell near the stove; he hit her on the side of the head; asked him if 1 could go out and play; he said yes; went out and stayed out an hour; mother rose from the fvor aud saton the sofa; there was blood on ner head when I went out; he struck her with his Tight shoe; he put it on after he struck ner; when Icame back mother was lying on the louuge aud father siiting in the roeking chair; she died when I came in; I know she died pecause the neighbors sald 80; I spoke to her when I came In; she made ho answer; she was lying on her side; her eyes were closed; I asked father what tue matter was With her, and he said she fell off the lounge; he said, “I'll go for a coroner or a doctor;” he sent me for water as soon as 1 came in; I brought up seven cans fuil and washed her head; father took Lis clothes om; there was blood on the Moor; I wiped |p ap with a floor clota; father told me todo it; after washing herlcaugnt hold of her | fect, father canght hold of her head, and we pat her in bed; he struck her witn the heel of his shoe; only strack her once as far asl saw; | was holding the baby im the rocking chair when he struck her; heard some one kpock at the coor during the evening; mother was then on the sola and iather in the rocking chair; be did not say anything to her before he struck her; when | took of bis shoes he was sitting at the window; mother arose from tae sola and he rao at her and struck her with tbe shoe; the body was washed near we window; he dragged ber there from the Jounge; [took of her shoes while she was o@ the joumge; she asked me to do so; this wes alter I came in tir second time; when ! firss came in mother’s batr was ail fixed up; it tel: dowa when lather struck her; when he hit her she said, “What are you doing this sort”? when I came in mother groaned twice; when sne asked him what he did it for he made no repiy; when { came in from ens mo‘ ner ed me for a drink of water; when I was briug! it I stepped in the blood; called to father, telling bini she was bleed- ing; he was lying oa the bed; he came out and asked her what the matter was; placed is arm under her head and washed her witb water; he put the nightgown on when | was down stairs; [ commenced to ery and said she was dying; he sald she would feel better in the morning; when the water got bloody he made me threw it out; the pati I browgbt it in Was smaller dinner pail; father sent tne neighbors up; they said mother was dead and that be had struck her with a shoe; do not know what kind of shoes mother had on; think they were an old pair of father’s; 1 put them under the lounge; two branches. Assuming that tue former action | was not discontinued, then the defendant could | not be arrested In this, and he claimed it was not, because the costs had not been paid, aud ciied many cases and the Kevised Statutes in support © He then passed to the third branch | that the order of arress | because previous to lis service had used au at- tachment, a decision Daniels, affirmed by the Court of Appe: man could not be proceeded against by both ar- | Teet and attachment at the same time.

Before going into the bulld- jogs jr. Vanderpoel explained to the com- paoy how the island had peen built, and told of the many engineering difficulties that had to be overcome belore the plaus could be periected, He pointed out the improvements which had been made under his administration, and with some pride mentioned taat the work had been done tor moch less moaey than it was firatestimatea it would cost. The visitors were then conducted through the two detention bulldings, ene for cabin, the other (or steerage passengers, of ships Which arrive io port with contagious diseases on board.

Prest- presided, Tre “first thing in order was a hearing of the various agents of the Euro: pean steamship lines with reference to the slip aud pier room considered necessary by them on the new docks, A number of tue lines were represented; the National by Mr. Hurst, the man by Mr. Nicolson, the French by Mr. McKen- aie, the Willams & Guien line by Mr. Williams, &c, The consultation was very friendly and per- fectly harmorious, President Wales meeting tne wants of the steamship men in a fair spirit of liberality, After the steamsbip men the Police Board bad a hearing, and subsequently a large amount of routine business was transacted, PACILITIBS FOR STEAMSHIYS. President Wales said that the steamship trade to Europe had so vastly inercased that it was im- portant to make a proper adjustment of the ship room between the ducks, The Commissioners were anxious to economize apace as much as pos- sible, but at the same time they were equally desirous of doing justice to the varlous steamsnip companies. The ships were so large and were contunually being built so much larger that the question of providing adequate stip room was one of some embarrassment to the Commissioners, In order to meet this diflculty a map had been pre- pared showing the aiterations proposed in the situation and.size of plersand slips, The new arrangement made all the slips of the same size. A map was then exhibited to the steamship agents present, showing an arrangement of slips between Canal and Christopher streets, Noria kiver, of a untiorm width of lod feet. ‘ LETTER FROM MR. BURST. President Waies then read the ‘followtng inter- esting letter from Mr. Hurst, ageat of the National Steamship ine:— GuntLemen—Reterring to the conversation of yester- gay ln regard to the proposed widih of 64 fect betwoen to evablo two swamers fo be unloaded at the same time, one on the south side of one dock and one on the north side of the dock. A steamer canuot approach nearer than six feet the dock, which space taken up by the fenders ‘and string plece— 6 feet taken up by fenders, &c.; 45 feet width of steamer; 24 teet width ofelevator; 18 feet widtl of canal boat; feet allowed for spaces between steamer and boat, making in ail 97 feet for each steamer, so that the slips Will require to be 20) feet in width. Docking a steamer of 400. tu 690 feet in lensth, the tide runningstrong qown the river and another ship lying atthe westdock, would be attended with great danger to both vessels, as the space would not be sufficient be- tween the piers to swing safely into the berth. Board will take thot ciding on the pr Ttrust your honorable into consideration hetore osed width, and I think wat my Views will be colnelded In by the agents ol the other large steamship lines. Tam, gentlemen, your obedieut servant, y FW. J. HURST, VIEWS OF THE STEAMSHIP AGENTS. President Wales vheu called upon ail the gen- tlemen present to express tueir views in regard to the arrangement proposed, Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Hurst and Mr, Nicolson ex- ressed themselves in favor of slip room of not ess than 200 feet and piers of not less than 75 feet width, They would ratuer haye only 60 feet piers than to bave less slip room. Mr. Williams, of the Williams & Guion Steamship line, who came Im the middle of the preceedings, expressed nub- stantially the Same opinion, It was also agreed between the agents tuat the bulkheads should ve utilized for steamship purposes, Mr. Williams pri testing, however, against what be considered the dangerous abuses on the White Star Docks, where casks and other encumbrances lay olten lor a month at a time. CONSULTATION WITH THE POLICE BOARD, At three o'clock three members of the Police Bourd—Messrs. Sinith, Voortis and Disbecker— appeared belore the Commission to consult with it concerning the dumpiiag boards necessary to the Street Cleaning Department. Mr. Disbecker Was the spokesman of the Pollce Board and car- Tied on the conversation in his usual lively and His style of talking was, as usual, ornamented with such expressious as “Yes, they ut all the blame on Disbecker; that’s tashtona- je now;" “If Pa get a dumping voard Vd dump all the Hariem flats stuff in it,” etc. He instracted President Wales in the kin@est manner concern ing bis duties and the other Commissioners concerning theirs. ‘What's the use o! talking like that?’ he would say, with Cnesterfieldtan po- Waies pointing out bis disability to comp with all thé demands of the Polico Board, Mr. Dis- becker was assured by President Wales that he would do all ta his power to facilitate the work of cleaning the streets properly, at the same time be compiained that the dumping was carelessly done, much of the dirt being thrown into the slips in dumping it from the cars. He finally promised, upon consultation with Commissioners Dimock boards at 119th street, Nortn River; at Nigaty- sixth street and 117th street, Bust River. LEASK TO THE ERIE RALLWAY, Aresolution was passed leasing to the Erie Ratlway 560 feet of buiknead on the North River, beginning at pier 15 and extending southward to | pier 2. The Department agrees to build the piers according to the plans of the company, provided Erie Company erect saita' ferry houses on tue piers, The terms are $95,000 per year for the frst tem years, with a renewal for the like period at $100,000 a year, and are the same as previously published in full in the HeRALD. The lease in- volves @ complete reconstruction of Pavonia ferry and of the terminal facilities of tne Urie Katlway altogether, and President Wales says the work of reconstructing the piers will be this season.

Yesterday was another memorable day in the annals of the Good Shepherd convent. The cool recosses of the chapel were early filled with in- vited guests, and as the tolling bell broke the silence of the morning the organ pesied forth its melody, the sweet votces of the ehoir intoned the “Ave Maria Stella,” and the white-robed proces- Sion entered the chapel. The tree novices paused at the grating before the main altar, and at the close of the hymn the Rey. Father Duthgle?, claa in vestments of white and gold, began she cere- mony by presenting to each novice’a lighted can- le, a8 a symbol of the celestial ligit to which Jesus Christ calls the devout souls who seek & Closer union with Him in the cloister. Ther erend father then addressed them in reference to this solemn obligation that they assume by ive act of profession, aud likened it to the acts of the MARTYRS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR ONRIST. The act of profession 1s, it anything, superior to mitt bad wo 1 eV etal cou; Dignds of wes the acts 01 the martyrs, for the true religious must | die daily to live more perfectly to God. The renun- clation of self must be untversal, constant, geuer- ous aad voluntary, The reverend father felt as- sured that the novices who presented themselves be‘ore him fulfilled all these conditions, as he had examined them before entering the chapel; but, to still further prove their sincerity, he again asked them In she presence of the whole assembly if they still desired to accomplish their vows. Each one repited that she persevered in her de- mand, and the Prioress naving signified the will of the community to receive the movices among them; to live and die together tn union with the Lord, the priest inyitea them to accomplish what tuey had resolved upon, The chow then sang, be MN offer my vows to the .Lord before ali Ui peuple. I, WILL CONSBCRATE MYSELF TO HIM at the @ntrance of the temple.” The novicos tien, each sep: ely, read their vows dedicating themselves for ail the days oi their lives to the service of God in the care and instruction of the omen who retire to their sacred enciosure to e converted to God and to do penance. The Vows were signed as s Tead, the choir sang au anthem and the r father blessed tue veils and silver hearts, giving the latter to the novices to be worn @ mark ol consecration (o the mother o! Jesus Christ, The newly prolessed then sang “This 18 THE PLAOS OF MY REST; nere shall I dwell, tor I bave chusen it.’ The priest them sald, ‘My sisters, now you are dead to the world and to yourseives; to live no longer, but in God; in solitude asin a tomb.” The choir replied, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.’? Phe newly proiessed prostrated themsely: the orher religious gathered around and held ¢ black pall over them while the ceiebrant sang, in & grave tone, @ portion of the “Ofice tor the Dead” and theu intoved the “Libera Me” which the choir chanted to {ts close, The reverend Jather then bade them ‘*Arise, come out of the shades 0! death and of this wicked world, clothe yourself with the ligns of life, woich is Jesus Christ, and by the favors of this divine light walk in the way 01 perfeccion all the days of the new life you have entered apon.” The pali was then will wn, the nghted candle restored to eacn of thi ary professed, they singing ‘Ine Lerd ts my light ani my saivation ; whow shall I iear?’ The priest them prayed God to give them all grace to be ever faithiul to their vows, and presented to each one a crucifix, telling them to remain fastened to it, according to the example o! Jesus Carist, until death, and to glory in it alone. Keceiving the crucitlx they replied, ‘God forbid that { should giory in anything bus the cross of our Lord Jesus Curist, by waice THE WORLD I8 CRUCIFIED TO MB and I to tae w ‘The choir responded, “For it 18 no longer I \hat live, but Christ that liveth in me; Jesus Christ, py whom the world is cracifled tome and to the world.” Father Dutnaler then gave them the special blessing and vade them “Go in peace, my dear sisters; God has accepted your sacrifice; let us now render Him thanks lor the favur He has done you;”? and, khecling down, he intoned the “le Deum Laudamius,” which the choir conunued to theend, whlle the Mistress of S. | Novices conducted the newly professed puns to the Prioress, Who gave them each the “kiss of peace,” which they bestowed, in turn, upon their Tois ended tue ceremony of the prot and ail knelt tu protou: before the altar during the b ai uu of the Blessed rament, the choir staging with fine etfect the “Tanium Ergo.” The procession then leit the chapel ing ‘Praise God.” Tne guests repaired to tue parlors and soon joined by tne newly projessed sisters, each one Wearing & crown ol white Mowers over her yell.
