RAILROAD.—A few days ago Col. Thomas A. Scott, president of Pennsylvania railroad company; Mr. Frank Thompson, general manager of the Baltimore and Potomae, and other officials of the road, had an interview With the District Commissions as to the oc- cupancy of Maryland avenue by the road | the adjacent ground for a freight depot | and coal depot. The freight depot was found to be well advanced. The tracks at that | point was to be arranged so that when the grading is done there will be less cause for complaint than there has been. On the ground on the south side of Maryland ay- enue, between 13 and Mth strees, tressie Work has been put up, on whieh are run six See ith, to facilitate the unloading of coal. It is believed that for the — hese switches will be amply suf- mt for the coal trade coming over the road, and thereby the unloating land avenue will be obviated. fave some directions as to enlarging some of the cos] pockets and making the grades easier. These directions will be at once com- plied with, aud in a few days the coal depot will be in use, and all the coal arriving by the Baitimore and Potomac and coanecting Hines will be here delivered.

The defendants’ counsel came prepared for a thorough argament on their motions. a8 was apparent from the long Tow of authorities—1% ponderous law books. displayed in front of Mr. Cook. ‘The Snyder Releaxe Case | 10}, O'elock the court was coavene!, At an Mr Cook said that he felt a pleasure i pearing to-day to argue the motion m: THE CASE OF MR. EVA | | | n an- tein | | | | to require the government to elect—becanse the ease has at length been lifted beyond the ordinary clamor. The motion was in the mildest form; it does not go to the quashing | of the indictments. The question is whether | they shall be required to plead to all or to | one of the indictments, while others are per- mitted to sleep. Mr. C. referred to indict- ments 10,902 for conspiracy, to secure the re- Jease of Miller alias Snyder, 10,901 accessory to the felony, and 10,913 for procuring @ false recognizance. Can three arraignments take place on the same subject-matier cut up in different degrees and calling for differeat dietments. Judge McArthur called for the reading of the crime of felony and grand larceny Which was read by Mr. Cook. The other in- dictments were also read and the statute under which the last indictrnent is found, section Revised Statutes, (page 1 ») which prescribes a punishment of fine not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment not ex- ceeding seven years. Mr. Cook explained that although this last indictment was a single one, yet similar in- dictmeuts bad been found against the others. This kind of practice, said Mr. Cook, “is like the Irishman’s toe; nothing like It in the Heaven's above or the earth beneath.” He read authorities to the effect that but one indictment can be found for one offence, reading from ist Wharton's Criminal Law, Sections 424 and 426, He claimed that no perion should be twice put in jeopardy for the same offence or be subject to more than one indictment. This was the same trans- action earved out into several indictments; the same intent goes through all these | charges, viz: the release of Snyder. He re: from 20th Wendell, 103, that when two in- dictments are found for the same offence that first found shail pe deemed superceded by the second, and he said that soimpartant | Was the principle that in s: veral states it had been enacted intoa statute.

This course did not bid the accused to look through one jury box for an acquittal, but to look on to two other jury boxes. It | bids the defendant in the heyday of youth to look for long years of trial ‘when the alleget offence can. be inciuded in one indictment. He said the object was to narrow this in- guiry to the offence charged. He knew that this was the day of reform, but he would ask ut in jeopardy for the s Here there a to violate th on had found any authority, and receiving no ee Mr. C. said: “Alas! the oracles are | dumb.” Judge MacAr*bur.—Perhaps they id not like to interrupt you. Mr. Cook—I courted an fnterruption for the purpose. Judge MacArtbur._Perhaps they were spell-bound by your elequence. Mr. Cook hoped he would sum rag the | court, and read some other authorities. | District Attorney Wells followed, saying that the government has Icoked in vain for @ parellel to this motion. After referring to the scope of the information he said that there was no extraordinary cutting up of the offence. The indictment for accessory could not be tried until the principal is tried and convicted. They were asked to elect if | _ try him on this indictment, which is impossible. He read from Bishop’s Criminal Procedure, sec. 444, that each count charges @ different offence. He would be obliged to him if the gentlemen on the other side would refer to a case where the govern- men had been required to elect at the outset. Mr. Merrick—1 will refer you to one—a disenssion by the Supreme ‘Court of the Mr. Wells read from Bishop’s Common Law, sec. 1,062, that a man be char, and tried for two offences on the same indict- ment. tHe asked if this was the case as to one indictment why he could not charge the offences in more than one indictment. As to double charging he would say that the re- cords of the court showed a most remarkable ease, (Sth Cranch)—a party charged with Stealiug five articles. THE SAPE BURGLARY CASE. Mr. Wells.—My attention is called to a case fresh in the recollection of some |g men here. and likely to remain fresh in the —- of @ great many people of this Dis- triet—the case of Benton and Miles, the dividnals who robbed the safe of the District Attorney. There are ten indictments in that case against the same individual for robbing the same identical safe on the same identical night. ‘Str, Riddle.—Notwithstanding all that we failed toget him. = roses brother endeavored hard to get him. Mr. Riddle—tIf they had let me alone I would have gotten him. Mr. Wells.—Perhaps some of the others of us may 4 to get him. Mr. Cook.—Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Mr. Wells.—We do not think these things an evil. We think ita blessed thing to catch rascals and convict them. Mr. Cook.— Make haste. Mr. Riddle, afteran intimation of the court that the indictments were properly drawn, urged that it was the intention which was involved. and said it was astonishing to him that these men were to be tried for three say- eral offences committed at one time. Mr. Stanton suggested that the giving of false bail was the starting point, and he sug- gested that bead ye moe be called on to plead to one of the indictments only, so that when tbe others may be called the parties would be free to plead a conviction or acquittal. Mr. Wells proceeded, and said that the crime of conspiracy stood unlike any other crime. He urged that the offences charget were different; that the same proof is not in all the cases; that in the larceny being common to all indictments, but the other proof being as wide as the east is flower t have the sur ‘Of one of bis | 10, and the case of Burman, in 5th Chranch, hend counpumten Gnes owl! alos bs arden Sy | Goctrtasormetiinn tha icone an iselec~ Mr. J.P.

Mr. Merrick —I will enter special pleas that the indictments charge the same of- ferce. Mr. Cook filed in behalf of Evans a plea in abatement, challenging the array of the grand jury on the ground that 14 members of the grand jury were illegally drawn—not ten days Fora to the commencement of the term; that 9 were summoned in place of those ex. cused; that the whole drawing was illegal; that some of the grand jury have served on a grand jury within two years; that several were over 65 years of age; that the court, in December, 1574, appointed commissioners to kelect. names for the jury box, five months after the ac uthorizing such selection hat been repealed. and therefore the grand jurors are not a legal body.

The report was adopted. FOOD INSPECTION. Dr. Verdi, from the committee on inspec- ton of food, to whom was recommitted te report on food of October sth, reported that they find nething in said report reflecting upon the ability of the present inspectors of food. But to avoid ambiguity or misconstruc- tion, the cormittee takes pleasure in stating that the inspectors have,on all oceasion=, performed their duty intelligently and cfi ciently, and that the want of qualifications spoken of in said report refers to the proposed plan of inspecting food in the sefentifie man- her of anulysists nicrosenpists, and not to the valuable practical service rendered by them heretofore. The report was adopted. VITAL STATISTICS. The report of the registra'ton of vital sta. tistics for the week ending October Ith was submitted, showing deaths 76 (2 more than the previous week), of which 31 were whites and 42colored.
