The arrest of Tweed passes the message that he had immunity from the country's legal and justice system.

Looking at the cartoon, he is to be arrested and yet he is seated and smiling. The shadow justice just looks on behind him.

Tweed was a very corrupt personality that had great power. With his money and influence he could effect changes in the justice system at his own will.

The Sheriff who came to make the arrest has his hand on his shoulder in a friendly way. With his cap in hand, he bade him goodbye as he laughingly called Tweed his man.

This was titled another good joke because he seemed to have bought the justice system to be on his side.
