TSse« UGRIOUS CASH The singulat case im refetence to the owner- ship of a sewig machine, (heretofore referred to in THE ‘sta e,) was up again before Justice Much Ade about 4 D. R. smith yesterday afternoon. It appears fr the evsdonce that, Mrs. Trumbull, a wo- man ip indigent two chil- drea, had been furnished a sewing ma- chine, purchased by the contributions of several Of the fedy clerks of the Treasury and Treasurer F.E. Spinner. ee the woman upon condition, alleged, that she Would use it to gan a livelihood.

As is usaal in such possessio: was the sewing machine.) and turned them over to the property clerk, who, in turn, upon an o:- der signed by two of the lady clerks and Gen. Spinner, delivered up the machine to the donors—who turned it over to Mrs. Davis. When Mrs. Trumbail was released she discovered her loss, and had Mrs. Davis arrested for larceny. Hence the trial. Yesterday afternoon Dr. H. N. Howard testi- fied as to his selling a sewing machine to Mrs. Harris, of the Treasury Department, and which he had delivered, at her request, to Mrs. I'r bull, at the house of Mrs. Wi met Mrs. Harris before, and she had stated that she wished to purchase a sewing machine for a Mrs. Trumbull, a subscription for that put having been gotten up among the ladies of the ‘Treasury Departncnt. This was last October. Drs. C. C. Green testified that she Is an cm ployee in the Treasury Department. A sq Keription wasstarted in’ that office, the object being the purchase of a sewing machine for Mrs. Trumbull. She had sul d, and knew of others that had done so. She was’ not aware that any conditions were required, or were as to the wor or havior as a Vi lice necessary e of the recipient. She had signed an order for = recovery of the machine at the request of others. Mrs. A. C. Harris was sworn, and said that she was a copyist in the Treasury Department. Had nothing to do with the sending of Mrs. Trumbull to the workhonse—had never advised with Mrs. Davis on the subject of having her sent there, with the view of obtaining of her property. Whem she learned that Mra. T.had n sent there, she, (Mrs. Harris,) with others, desired to get the ‘sewing machine re- turned, to be disposed of and the proceeds placed in the hands of General a to be disposed of to other objects of charity more worthy than Mrs. Trumbull. She penned the order herself to the proj ‘y clerk for the de- livery of the property, which General Spinner, Mrs. C. C. Green and herself had signed. When Mrs. Trumbull first was an applicant for em- joyment in the Treasury Department, she Bee. H.) was delegated to call on her to see if she was a worthy person for employment. She was at first pe A with her appearance, and itied her dostitute and unfortunate situation, with three little children to pro- vide for. She was informed that she Was tov vile a creature for them to touch. She would not believe these reports, and thought TF a persecuted woman. She had defended her at the Chi Association rooms, when Mr. Hail had spoken illof her. She saw that her children were in want of clothing; had been told by Mrs. Williams that she used laudanum to great excess, but thought her troubles had much to do with it, and she introduced the sub- ct of buying a sewing machine for her, which Mrs. T. seemed very grateful for. Soon after this, an officer from the State of Minnesota came here to take her children away from her, and she had remonstrated against its being done—bad quite an altereation with said officer, telling him that if he got the children it would be over her dead body. At this time Mrs. T. was very poor, and had pawned her two trunks, and she (Mrs. Harris) had begged twelve dollars to redeem the trunks for her. Finally this offi- cer decided not to take her children. At the time nk oon was beg roe Mrs. = was in reasury Department. Mrs. Davis wanted to buy a Sewing machine, and this was taken there to sell to ', 80 that the Proceeds could go to more worthy objects. Had seen Mrs. Trumbull under the iniiuence of land- anum. Dr. Darby was examined as to the « laudanum a person accustomed and tomed to its use could take. Mrs, Williams was recalled and said, atter Mrs. Trumbull had been sent away, that Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Green called at her house, and they were looking over the pawn tickets and other property of Mrs. Trumbull, and she overheard their conver- sation about the division of the effects; one claiming a silk dress, the other some other arti- ¢les which were there or in pawn. Previous to Mrs. Trumbull. being sent away a gentleman was introduced by her to witness as Sergeant in the Marine Corps, who witness soon found was acting husband of Mrs. Trumbull, and after she was sent to the workhouse he took one of the children into his custody. Witness recognized one of the policemen present as the so-called Marine officer.

CHARGE OF OBSTRUCTING THE STREETS OF Fisher —Yesterday, Co"< said if it was mate~ rial they would pro-e it. Mr. Cook replied that the statement was untrue. Mr. George Holmes sworn for defence:— Witness lives at the corner of New Jersey avenue and E street; the company always removed the cars out of D street, except when the trains were Cross-cxamined:—Witness is a dealer in pro- duce, and does not think that either D street or North Capitol street is obstructed. Witness Was summoned for the Government, but was not called. James H. Wise sworn:—Witness testified that the commons on North Capitol street, beyond D, deseend abruptly seven or eight feet, and would not be passable even if the railroad track was not there. Crors-examined:— Witness does not think ear- Tiages ever passed there; North Capitol street, after passing the railroad, ran $ or § fect on an inclination; he might, however, drive such an inclination if he had no other road. Mr. G. 8. Koonz sworn :—Witness is the agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Washit ton since 1362; the trains were made up on the sidings on Delaware avenue, beyond North Cap- itol street; they are then backed into the depot, where they receive passengers. After a train has discharged its passengers, the cars are im- mediately pulled up to the siding beyond North Capitol street; while the cars are waiting to go out the engine is always detached, and stands at a sufficient distance from the cars to allow one or two wagons to pass up the street; thi# is a neral order; the freight cars are ranged on siding on D street; the moment a train stops across a street the cars are uncoupled, and a space left for the wagons to pass along the street. Mr. Cox asked whether the witness knew of any ment with Mayor Wallach py which the sitling on D street was allowed. Me. Gook objected. The Mayor had no power to make such agreement, and it would be as well to rove the consent of the Choctaw Indian. ‘The Court thought the question inadmissible. Even the Mayor might be indicted for obstructing a highway. . James Randol; engineer of the B: ‘The highest sworn?—Witness is chief itimore and Ohio Railroad. ‘ade which can be worked is 117 feet to the-mile. This le oceurs at the foot of the — mountains—Piedmont to Alta- mont. The hi est grade in this city is 40 feet tothe mile. The highest grade that could be worked with safety in this city was 52 feet to the mile. If there was a heavy grade in the city, and the brakes on the incoming train get out of order, the cars would through the depot out on New Jersey avenue. The only way in which the heavy grade at Maryland avenue was overcome was by running one half the burden train at full speed across the Long Bridge. and then, after getting it on the hill, going back tor the other half and bringing that over at full speed. Mr. Cox here asked the witness if he remem- bered a conversation with Mayor Bowen about a compromise. Mr. Riddle objected. Mr. Cox said that the statement that a eompromise was offered had been denounced as untrue, and now objection was made to proving the statement. ‘The Court sustained the objection. Cross-examined:—Mr. Cook wished to know whether it was possible to construct 9 railroad on the grades of the city. The witness said a rail could be constructed upon a perpendicular line. Mr. Cook.—Well, let’s see you construct a line on this, (holding his pencil perpendicu- = Mr. Kandolph.—That is trifling. Mr. Cook.—No, sir. The answer is trifling. Mr. R. said a railroad can confo to any grade, but the question was whether it would be safe or practicable; still it can be accomplished; but we ve no ae that would pull a train over such a grade as perhaps is demanded in the city; steep grades can be conquered by dividing trains, and only taking a few cars at a tine; it is done in a similar way in Baltimore; the high- est grade sequired in this city would be 16! feet. THIRD DAY. ‘This morning the case was resumed, and Br. Cox referred to the indictment, in which there are seven counts. The first, |, and third, for obstructing I street, by digging below the = or natural surface; the fourth for obstruct- ing New Jersey avenue; the tifth for obstructing 7th street east; the sixth, Delaware avenue, be- tween G and F streets; the 7th, for unlawfully porary Sad and tracks in © and D north, and North Capitol street and New Jer- sey avenue, Ou which cars are allowed to ob- strnet travel, and offered prayers for instruc- 9 the whee criaengy proaucet and the admissions made on the pact Of the United States, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, both as to its present location and_grad- uation, from the boundary of the city of Wash- ington’ into the depot on'sjuare 632, is author- ized by the sev acts of Assembly of Mary- land, acts of Congress, and acts and resolutions and agreements of the corporation of Wash- ington, read in evidence, and is not in law a nuisance; and the Fd are instructed to render a verdict of ital upon the first, second, third, fifth and sixth counts, and so mach of the seventh as relates to the depot and the tracks entering the same and crossing North Capitol street and its iatersection with D street.

That there is no competent evidence before the jury to sustain the fourth count, or so much of the seventh count as relates to D street. Fourth. That the jury should render a yer- dict of acquittal upon so much of the séyenth count as relates to the placing and keeping of cars, engines, trucks, coaches and wagons on the tracks of said road on North Capitol street and its intersection with D street, so as to obstruct and stop up the same, unless the jury are. satis fied that said cars, engines, &c., have been al- lowed to remain immediately on said street, and said obstruction was not the temporary and un- avoidable obstruction eaused by arriving and Cok sald “they would give up the charge in the indictment as to C street and New Jersey avenue. Mr. Cox proceeded to read irom the acts of Mage ig ving Pe comeens the right of way in the Distriet, of May 2d, 141, stating that in the case before the Equity Court it was shown that the company had the right to traverse the streets. A Ce ocgemee act was passed, March 3d, 1835, in w! power is given to run the track through Ge me) 909, 858, 852, 908, 887, 856, 857, $31, 867,476,752, and 714; but that itshall not pass beyond square 718 until the route to the termination is surveyed and agreed to by the pi ls of Washington. Beyond the inter- section of H streetand Delaware avenue the company derives its authority from Congress, and squares named are now traversed by the road. Mr. Cox read the act of the Corporation giving assent to the route surveyed below H street and Delaware avenue, with the profiles in which are isos that the expense of making the North Capitol street and 2d street east conform to the grade of the road shall be made by the company. Mr. Cox read the act of the Corporation look- ing to the removal of the depot Pennsyl- vania avenue to its present location, dated May 3ist, 1850.

GEORGETOWN. ——o_—_ Grant ayp Cotrax Ciun.--A meeting of this club was held last evening at Good Samari- tan Hall, Mr. W. H. Smith in the chair, and a Committee on Resolutions, reported the follow- ing, which were adopted: Whereas astatement appeared in the STAR of last evening to the fect that George Hill, the present incumbent of the Georgetown post office, to which he was Phaser ee by Andrew Johnson, has been a Union ‘publican since the early part of the war; and whereas the said statement is calculated to deceive the Union men and Republicans of this city and District as well as Gecwhere; ae will appear by the following facts, constituting part the record of the said Hill, to wit: He pre- sided as one of the secretaries held to welcome Johnson upon his return from “swinging around the circle;” he contributed one hundred dollars to the Conservative Club of Washington and twenty-five dollars to the Con- servative Club of Georgetown; he has publicly announced that he does not owe his appointment to any Republican influence, and within six months has dismissed the only Republican who held a position in said post office, and ap- pointed in his place his own son, an avowed enemy to the Republican party; he has not a Re- eg employee in the office at this time, and refused to give an appointment to ene of that party; therefore, Resolved, the Re- publicans of Georgetown unite in asking the re- moval of George Hill from the office of post- master of Georgetown, and that Col. J. B. Adams, a true and tried Kepublican, be ap- pointed in his place. In view of the apparent strife between the Trustees of the Colored Schools, it was resolved tocall a meeting of the citizens of Washington city and Georgetown together, at some con- vertient place at an early period, for the purpose of stating to them why this unhapp; diberence exists among them and which hinders the pro- gress of the schools of the District.
