The Tribune says so far as Tweed him self is concerned, there is less reason to lament the issue of the case than might at lirst sight bo supposed. His discharge from the penitentiary does not imply re storation to freedom. He will be iear rested on civil process before he leaves the island, and as there is not the slight est probability of his obtaining three millions bail, he must go to jail to await tho suits of the State for the recovery of the stolen money. There are other in dictments against him which perhaps may be tried. For the present, he mere ly steps from one cell toanother,and pays a good price for the change. If he is even restored to free air and sunshine he will probably Hud himself a beggar, his home despoiled, his old associates scattered and bis friends ashamed to own him.
