WM. M. TWEED, The New Suit Against the Ex-Boss. Denial of Motion to Vacate the Order of Arrest. Refusal of the Application to Re- duce Bail. THE OPINION OF JUDGE BARRETT. The particulars of the new suit instituted in the Supreme Court against William M, Tweed for the Fecovery of $6,000,000, alleged to Bave been iraudu- lently obtained by him from the city amd county ‘Weasury having already been published In fall im the HERALD it 1s unnecessary to recapitulate was @ motion to Vacate the order Of arrest against him and also Yo reduce the bail from $3,000,000, the amount gxed vy Judge Br Judge Barrett, vefore whom the motion was argued, in Supreme Court, Ohambers, gave bis decision yesterday, embody- ing the same in tue following opinion, wich we give in fuil:— First—The point with respeet to the pendency Of the prior action 1s not weli taken. It is oi 00 consequence when (he oracr o! arrest was made, What is material to the deiendant is the condition O1 talbgs Wheo it Was executed. At that tune the Previous suit had been aiscuntinued by an order vf the Court, umconditioual in 118 terns, out Which directed payment by tue plaintif of the Gelendant’s cost. ‘This order was regular, but i otherwise—il the payment of the costs should have been made a@ condition preeedent—ihe remedy was by motion to vacate or mudity, This the deiendant has nut resorted to, and, altaougn the order was served upon the 8¢h ol last April, ‘Re has permitted it to remain unquestioned until the mearing of the present motion, Bul even if it Were not now too late the order cannot de at- tackeo collaterally, and It 10u0Ws that the prior action Was nov pending when sae defendant was errested in tuis, Sccond—The defendant next invokes the old axiom. “Vemo debet dis vexari pro una et eadem causa.” 10 this general rule, however, there ace several exceptions, one of which is stated in Archer vs, Quampney, 3 Moore, 607, that a delend- @utcannot be rearcested after @ discoutinuance, nonsuit or pon pros. unless the former action Was 1oanded ona mistake, which mistake would tend 10 show that the second arrest Was uot vex- ativus, Here it appears tne former action wags determined because o: a judgment of tae Court of Appeals to the effect that suca action could not be malatained by the State. It was therelore an action jounded Upon @ mistake. The present ac- tion is oased upon direc} legislative autuority, subsequent.y Comerred, and so cannot, therefore, be salu tu be vexatious, Tnird—An uitachment Was issued on this action te to the deienaaut’s arrest, but it appeara that thie ur BO pro, erty has been attached thereun- Notices of ils pendens have veen fied against real estate formerly vested in the detendant, out 4m every but One triv.al instance the property ap- Pears to pave been conveyed to persons to be innocent pure roperty of apy kin e d. There is mo iegal objec- tion (0 the piaintid’s procedure in this respect; none Certainly im 80 faras \ue order of arrest 1s conceraed, Unul their demand 18 secured are entitled toas Many provisional remedl they cau make out @ case jor. Their demand being fully secured by any one tne otners iail, that's, they can suceessfully use but one pro- Visional remedy, This ts all toat is meant by the Tule ayaimst the cumulation of remedies, and ail thal seems to have Leen decided by Mr. Justice Daniels io the Rockiord, Rock Island and Su Louis Railroad Company vs, Boody, Fourth—ithe vext point made by learned counsei for (he aefendant 1s thar upow which ft. sumicient, @ aNidavits are substantially the ie as those W.lch were passed upon by Mr dust.ce Learned on the former aciion. That learned Judge held, upon a careful and critical ex- MiDation, that they were ampiy sufficient. Ihave ne Over the present alidavits carefully, and, excluding tuat.o! Governor Tilden (which, net being verified io this action, Cannot be used), am Of opinion thas a prima lacie o: is made out. I caunot assent to whe propysition that the testimony of Garvey, Vaviason aod Keyser ts en- Ulled “to no credit whavever.” ‘Ineir testimony seems to me to ve corroborated iu several im. portant particulars oy other amianis, But even if Gncorroburated such testimony, whtle itis un- douviediy 10 be received With caution, 1s not to be distegarded, and a jury may find for the plaia- tut thereon, stly, @ point ts made against tne con- Muuovaliry Of the act of 1675, auder which this tiv is breugat. This is 4 question which ougat tto ve determined adversely to the law upon & mere Motion In the The proper couri 11 the point be deeised of guMcient importance, is to bring it directly beiere tne Court, eltner by de- discovered or atta murrer or @ motion to disiniss at uit ve | BO doudt, however, that the rigois in question | ¢ pobiic and may be eaiorced im suck manner and form to tne Legislature may seem appro- Tate, Pcaith—The motion to vacate the order of arrest for the foregoiug reason mast be denied. Itre- malus te be considered whether the bai should be reuuced, The general ruie is to require the deiendant arrested for iraud im a@ civil action to furvish ball in @ sum suficient to cover the plaintiffs claim, with the probable interest and costs, More tuan that is excessive; By neraily insufficient. The rue is not varied solely by tne incident of the extent o! the claim, otherwise the wrongdoer wouid be favored in proportion to the greatness of his m's- dee is, itis, nowey cretion of the Cour: (avo! than the They were pinion made, and were reaflirmed by the decision of the General Term on the appeal from bis order, And im we late case of Beiomi, Jr., vs. Nathan (Mss,) the rule was again reierred to, and with approval, by wr, Justice Davis, who remarked that it was a “general rule, Rot departed irom without go @ reason, that tue batl required on such an order eball be the amount wo'ca tue piaintlf, by » davits, &c., shows himsel! entitled to recever, ‘Wild ap additional sum to cover interest and costs Ukely to accrue.” ‘the learned counsel for the defendant do not question the correctness of these rules in ordinary Cases, DUt (bey insist baat there 1s a line beyond | which, RO Matter how vast tue amount embezzied OY Misapprepriated, the Court Ought not to pass im fixing the amount of bail. Where that line is to ve drawn, however, 18 not suggested, Dutit 1s Bald That ‘as to the $3,000,000 exacted being ex- cessive, that 1s @ lect, und does not require argu- meut.” And again “No process of reasoning can justiy the holding to bail of any numao being in the sum oi $4,000,000." 1am unable to assent to these vroad propositions, On tue contrary, lcan weil imagine w case where it would be a gross abuse 01 judicial discretion to refuet to Bola & “naman being’? to vail im $3,000,000.

Let us consider tuea, woether the amount of bail in tae present case is excessive or Ougut to be reduced under the rea- fouavie and well estavlisnea ruses which | have indicated. Tue bail is clearly not excessive for the reason that itis consideravly less wan the amount of the plaintin’s demand, for altaouga but $932,850 are actually traced into the defend- apvs hans, yet upon the bien elk proois which have been furaisned, a prima facie case is mage out of liability fur $6,198,957, with interest jrom September 1, 1870, Whetaer or not tue dai ought to be reduced, must, as we have seen, de- Pend upon the facts and circumstances of the case, In the present there are a lew c ntrolling Jacis which lead me irresistibly to the couciusion ‘hat the bail should not be reuuced. In the first lave the delendaut does not ex praas bis inaotiti, 9 procure the bali required of or to deposit the amount, His learned counsel asks the question, “Whatis excessive bull?” and answers, “to is beyond the power of the party to gi the deiendant, thus advised, fails tu assert, under Oath, taat the ball Is beyond bis power to give, Now, while [cannoy assent to vae proposition of counsel, jor if it were correct the quantum O! bait Would depend upon the extent and wealth of o man’s Iricuds, yet te lact Of ability or inabiiity, like that o1 poverty or means, is undoubtedly to ve considered in connection with all the other vircumstances Of the case, Then the defendant Bas oneed no aMdavit or other prvol or denial or explanation of the charges made against nim.

To Taz EDITOR oF THE HERaLD:— You have long and wisely furnisned public re- lgions sentiment the opportunity to ventilate itself through your Sunday edition—a good day and @ good deed. Permit me to avall myself of the channei sus offered to circuiate what may Probably be & series of communications on the controling theology of the day. An inquirer alter truth, uniettered py any ex- clusive creed, taking the Bible as my text book, I have endeavored, with promised divine aid, to make out the system of faith waich it undoubtealy furnishes and which tt teaches us to believe is so plain that “a Wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein.” So many, so varied, and in many respects s0 amtagonistic are the be- ue: of the Christian § world that, if necessitated, it would seem the revelation of tne Most High was intentionally mystified, and to such an extent that the human mind by no possi- bility could solve it. {do notso regard it, Ad- mitting that itis. divine revelation to man and tntenaed to ‘guide his feet imto the way of life’? i must aturibute the marked, and, in many re- spects, fatal diversity of opiuion tout prevatls as to iss teachings to be the result, not of divine pur- pose, Dat of human prejudice and misconception. Eruaite theologians will douptiess aeem me ar- 1Omant in deciaring that there sppears to be tun: dzmental errors tn all their systems, which b naturally aod inevitably induced tneir discord! and whic! progress Of, vital, riptaral OCuristianity than What is termed “tne paiural bostiity of & buman heart.” For e: 4 reported in your Mon- day’s edition.

The gathering was smail, but 1¢ adjourned to the Tao- ernacie, where the formai opening took place, and Dr. Boardman, the presiden|, made a few remarks om the necessity of Rumility before God, Tails ts @ kind of catchword with the entire Trace of holiness people. They are ali very humble, or want to be; they are al! the Lord’s little ones or mean to be; tney are ready to do or be apything for God and they aesire to Dave no will of their own but to be swallowed up Wholly in the Divine will, But some how or otner they manage todo preity much as they please every Sime and to nave a will and mind of their ows very much ilke other people who are not, or, at least, Gon’. profess to be as holy astney.
