THE LATE POST OFFICE ROBBERIES. United States District Court, Before Hon Judge Ingersoll. THE UNITED STATES AGAINST THRODORE A. ROSSIE- SECOND DAY. Jan. 11.—The case for the prosecution was resumed this morning. Frederick Eckeil examined by Mr. Dunming, deposed that he was clerk in the New York Post Ofice in May last; was employed in the foreign mail department; there | {s but one foreign letter department in the Post Oftlce; was in the office on the morning of the 12th May, before Rosaie; I don’t recsllect whether any person was in that room when I arrived; Rossie left the room that meralng first; I was in the room the whole time Rossie was there; I was there wher Mr. Coffin came in and took some letters from the block; this was when I came back from break- fast; during that morning I did not handls, nor bad I anything to do with the letters in the box which contain ed the German paid letters; those boxes were about three feot from Rosaie wher standing st his table; saw no other person than Rossie nandle taose German paid letters; I daw Roasie handis them; I think there were one pair of soales on Rosales table that morsing; the nosles ware by the letters on the sorting table; 1 think there was but one pair of scales on that table; Rossie pat the lottezs on that part of the tebls directly im front of the boxes, and the ecales were by them; my position in that room was at the table directly opporite Rossie, (Jesoribed it by the diagram.) Rossie did not come tomy soales to weigh the letters. Cross examined by Mr Smith—I was engaged at my or- Girary business; the worniog is geverally » very busy time; I had no gurpi that anything was wrong; sting the letters back would be to Rossie; we hare no directions to reneal letters; sometimes there may bea little paste put one letier when it is torp, but I have never resealed letters in the oflice Mr. Schell moved the Court to exclude all witnesses uring the examination. : Mr. Dunning aid that from the character of the wit messes he cid not seo the neversity The Court said, as there was no alleged comblaation be tween the witnesses to distor: the facts, he shoald refuse the application of the counsel of the prisoner. If Mr. Schell would state that avy witness who wee to be pro- Guced was the guilty party, or inclined to distort the troth, he would order bim out, but no; otherwise, Cro mination continned —It i# a commen thing to ra by the cover to sacertala their weight; dur in ime I was in the room I saw two or three psraons ‘pass ey wentfor their coats; I dit not notice them particularly; 1 did not see them go to Rossis’s ta ble; I arrived at a quarter pest dve that morning; Ido not know how many persons were there when ! arrived: there may have been four or five porters employed about the jding in May last; 1 went to broak’ast and remaiaed tea or twelve minutes: I ssw Mc. Coffin go to the table and examine the letters immediately oa my retarn breakfast; I should net think it strange if I were to see a clerk re-sealing o letter in the office, for I regard them as ail honest. To Mr. Dunnivg.—Two or three persons passed into the Office; they did not go near the boxes; they eould not go to them, for they had to turn round tae table; the distance at which they were from the boxes was abont eight feet; the clorets under tbe table are about six feet from the Prussian boxes, and a little less distauge from Koasiy’s te ble; the two Kelliogers, Hunt, end Chase, were in the room that morning; | ¢o not rec’ llect avy others William Ii Chase--Io May last I was clerk in thy Foreign department of the Post Osice in thiscity; I am still ; have been fire years employed there; Lremember the morning 0’ the May last; I was io the foreign room that morrirg; went there about twenty minutes after five o’clock t morniog ; saw Rossie that morning, but don’t remember which arrived firet; may businees was to assist in sorting the letters and geveral distribution ; when ws come in the morning we have our separate duty to perform, but in the absence cf othere we did theic business; the clerks did not interfere with the business of others, exospt in case of absence or an extra amount of work; I know where the boxes of German letters whish went by the Prussian mail, are placed; [ did not hancle ‘avy «f the letters that were in those boxes that vere to go by the Prussian mail that merning. I as- sisted in sorting the letters which after being sorted, were to be placed in those boxes; it was Mr. Rosie's Dusiness to handle these le’ I'rzw no other parson but Rosste handle those letters that morning; I did not nee any other person but Roesie near the boxes that morn- ing; I did not see Kossie handle them; I ssw him sorting letters for Great Britain; he was at his table that morn irg; I went to breakfast before Rossie; he was there when I returned; he went to brsattast about a quarter to asven o'clock; it'was not long after 1 arrived that I saw Rossis sortirg the Great Britain letters; there were scales on Rossie # table to the loft of where he was sorting; they were about a couple of feet from him; I think there were no other scales on the other end of ths table to the right hand; I worked at the same table, bat directly opporite to him; the table was about five feet wide; I waa about two fer't from the end of the table; I got the letters from another table and brought them to that table and sorted them and distributed them in various places around; I was not there at the time he assorted the German paid ing th and repast ; letters. Cross-eramineé by Mr Smith—I suppose about halt a Goren of the employes kept their cots ia the closet of that room; leew only one persin go out of that room that morning; the morniag is a preity busy time; wa are ll generally burried then; I was not paying avy attention to anything except ny bavines: 28 as ordinary; it is generally a comuion thing for mie to take bold of » letter and heft it to ascertain ite weight, sad if the weight does wot correspond with tho mark, we correct it, and that is the object in hefting it. Q—Do you ever have opeasion to rescal jetters in the office when the reais are broken, A~—I have; that is — common occurrence; I ween the other clorks co it; I could not swear that I Kokle do it; it isa common thing for the wax seals of Iellers, o ming from % warm climate, to get broken; there are two different kiods of seales in the cflice for weighing letters; I do not know where the other was; the scale for weighing single letters is most in use, Mr. Durning ~You ray there are two sets of scales there; how do they differ A. One weighs over eight ounces the cthor woihs up to eight ounces; we have one also which weighs quarter ounces: the one placed near to Koosie was the sale that weighed up to eight ounces. Q. On which of the soales would a sixty cent letter be woighed ? ‘A. On the ene np to eight ounces; it could be weighed on the other scale; the eight ounce scale was used for weighing heavy letters, but [ have sean laters of aixty cents weighed cn it; it does not often ocear that the seals of letters put in the ollice im this city are broken, by scci- dent or otherwise.

Exm Jan, 4, 1854 As you are the counsel for myself ia the causes pend ing before the District Court of the United States, arisiag out of my neighbors and my own opposition to New York anc Ohio Railroad interests, it may be useful to the par- tiew defending, and not yatterestiog to you or to the puolic, to group a few of tH facts involved in the issu o order to co this intelligibly, it will be necessary to: me to go over more ground than has yet besa compre. seed in any publicetion relating to these affairs, and aleo to give you come items that area part of the un written history of these railroad transactions However much this question has sore whoee purpose it is to misrepresent, it resolves ito" into s few plain and simple facts :— 1. The gauges of railroads east of this county are 6 fee\ and 4 feet 845 inches, respectively, while those west are of a uniform gauze of 4 feet 10 inche: opsequentiy, whore there gauge) meet a break is inwvitabls, aad that, too, be it remembered, by noact of cura We cannot prevent the occurrence of a break at some poiut on the son.hern shore of Lake EF: and we claim it io our State, tocaure the Jawsof commerce demand that it shall occur @t 8 point as far weet as possible. 2. Because the road be 9 from Erie to the York State line was laid down with the then popular gauge of that State, sod was the first road lati down on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and the road graded tos width euflicient to receive both of the roads of the Km pire State; ard henco & refural on her part to meet as at hown s want of courtosy—a violation of a4 i Erie and the New York Central roads violated a written contract, entered into with the Erie and Northeast Railroad, to effect the above con nection. 4. A break being inevitable, it should occur at a point where Baltimore and Philadelphia can coms into fair competition with their sisters, New Yor and Boston. Tn this, a8 In other respects, Peonsyivania oocapies a conservative position. She ia ‘the Keystone of the Fede ralarocb.’’ The break is eafe on her soil. Her cheracier before the wor'd is a sure guaranty of her integrity. The blood end treasure of her sous strengthened the cause of human freedom in our stragele for independence. In thie she claims no superiority over her sistera, buta birthri; ht with the eldest. These csiderations were of momeat when she war met at an early day by other S'ates ina convention, the result of which was permanent foothold for Pennsylvania on oor iclsnd seas, Then, (why should her sof] be run over, and her rights trampled upon by NewYork and Ohio, Or, why should her harbor, whic sllant Perry selected as the most eligible on the im which to construct his fleet, be blotted from , for all ureful purpores to our State and mation? Why ebovld » monstrous railroad corporation, whith hol is already the destinies of four mighty States withia its irom grasp, be permitted to crush the commerce of our metropolis, and our State at large—to disregard all law, from that of nations dowm to municipal corporations and township authorities—to violate the comity of States, and finally subjogete our ertire commercial interests! And for all this it offers no copsideration, but marches on with its irom tread of despotiam, taking by force what bribery cannot effect by legislation, poisoning pnblic epinicn by corrupting the palladium’ of our free instita- tions, so that the press, from Chicago to New York, has alrendy become & byé-wdrd for venality. With th feote standing out in bold relief, the community is led y this venal press, that all that Krie wants ie the “pe pat,” “candy,” and “spple trade,” conse qrent on @ change of cars. Lat us now inquire briefly into the breaks of gauge on the lake shore, vi As bas been said before the Erie and No: theast Railrosd Company, in a¢sordance with s contract with ine New York companies, graded taeir road euflicter tly wide to admit of both of the New York gauges, Ths most popular of the two, the six feet gange, wes for the time adopted. ‘ The New York Central’ be- vgs, “the New York aud Erie,’’ stepped forward, and with a threat which the New York avd Irie had learced to heed, forbade the bavs with Pennsylvaria’s obil4, and the result was, that a contract wae entered iato between the New York compa es to import Lote their State an fliegitimate gauge, tho ur feet ten inch of Ohio; the parties binding themselves each other rever to meet Pesnsy vania at the line on ia four fet eight hearted and cea erous legislators, unwilling that Pennsylvania shoaia be treated with euch perfidy, opposed the messure with = ly warmth aed energy, but ihe far of the age—that it was eveotusily to make Balfalo rehoure for the teeming west—that pubis opinion would eventnaliy force Peansyivania to abandon her rights, and relinquish all the advantages which sh» pos ressed in owning the best harbor on the lakes, aad ihe shortert amd easiest railroad roats throngh her own ter ritory from the lakes to the Atlantic. This policy pro vailed—tho Oslo gauge was edopted. and the road brietened “the Buialo snd State Line Ratlrosd Thus much for preliminaries; now Jet ua see how the New York and Obio Rallroad men pre posed te ovtain the end they had in view. Something over a yerr ago, when ibe Frankia Canal Company had completed its road on its four jeet tem, and meeting Ohio at the borders of her width of iron, as we had offered to meet —it being the link connesting the Nest was bailed with gratification and joy t ard was deamed by the jailroad men a yreper time to epread & banquet ona magnificen } ‘scordant interests to harmon! jol jifcationover the event. This banquet waa attended by railroad emperors, representing millions of stock held ia ispdon, by railroad kings fromm Boston, New York, Al avy, Buifalo, Cleveland and other places, as well as by many of the nutophisticated of our now immediate neighbor hoo. Alfred Kelly presided on that occasion, and with » studied manner and deportment, which sald as plain as actions could speak, that he intended to make himself sgreeable to the goo! clizens of Eria, and, as far as in bis power, to relieve them from any embarrasement which the presence of the finely dressed, prettily booted, and hiehly scented railroad empeiors and kings might rubject them to, The wine parsed merrily, and doep te the oblations at the shrine of the rosy until the a of eMairs, thought that this was the appropriate time, by taking advantage of the happy condition of his guests, vo nin their consent to the continuation of the Ohio cruge through our State to Baffalo without touching at ibe harbor of Erie, He rose with ® grace peculiar to himself, and, with a levity anda well sustained fare Ceemed sulted to the occasion, he broached the subject by introducing to his assembled guests his daughter, “Mise Frankia Canal,” who had come to Pennsylvania, where they ‘irarry without @ license,” and “build rail: roads jout charters’’—she measared just four feet ten inches across the bustle, and was the greatest romp that ever came from the Buckeye State. Whem she crossed the Obio State line,"’ he phe was timid as a fawn. and when she came to Walnut Oreek she trembled Bm cut ood 6 ie Welleca bamk and gazed inte {ts gulf; cen mistified by | but recovering herself, with a ‘bound she leaped to the eastern bant, a1 she wow'd nincteon males eastwardly ae es ie the arms of Deam Richmond, the Eastern Kir their nuptials would be celebrated io Suffslo through all ccming time. '’ Here there wasa pause, and never was there a pause more abrapt in a speaker at a festive board, or s allence more embarrassing to assembled ‘The bacchanelian hicoup, and the mirthful revelry were stunned into silence by a declaration so daring, so momen- tous, and so unexpected. Many felt, but few were pre- yeced toanswer. For myself, I felt that such a declara- n, coming from such # source and on such an occasion, shon'd not be permitted to pass without comment, and { took it upon tryself to respond. I then and there told the Railroad of the West that his champagne bot'les had been ex) in vain, for he would find that the drunker Pepusylvaniavs got the wider they would waat the track—that his daughter was disposed to be a coquette— that I had assisted Judge Gelbraith in delivering her into the world. and had been attached to heron account of her vows of fidetity to Frie, but if she merely kissed her hawd to “Pennsylvania's great highway,” and soughtunhaliow- ed nuptials with the Esat, the hand which had helped her into existence and fondled her in her infancy, would be the first to deal the blow to end her existence; and that those blows would be followed up in quick and fear- ful succersion, not only from those who had wrapped her in her swaddling clothes, but from the strong arm of an outrayed Commonwealth IMr. Richmond swore that it wouls be useless to resist, for they could procure from our State what legislation they might desire~that an in- divi¢ual had offered to take the contract of buying our Legislatnre at $50,000. I told the people that we hada Peoxeylyania ra{i7man for our Governor and then I heard it proclaimed, that “by G—d, $15,000 was more money than a Penneylvanis raftsman had everjyet refused to take.’ And althcughI knew then, as I de now, that this fou! imputation was an {ofamous lie, yet the tneult to my native State was not leas pointed. The festive reere was changed to angry dirco d, and the compsoy separated. At the close of the President’s epsesh the pice and gentls tappivg ef the morocco booted feet of the emperors and kings signified their approval, whilat I, on my part, was applauded by as stout a thamping of bro gens ae over sustained right against the insidious aad Diightivg encroachment of incor porated wealth, On this day, then, in the presence of hundreds, was ocleimed, by authority, @ policy on the part of New ‘ork and Obio ratiroad companies which was faithless to the spirit and letter of their contract,ruinous to and opposed to the interest of Philadelphia aad of the com- mionwealth at large. As® man, I felt a deep and burning indignation towards the men who could thus unblushing ly proclaim their rehemes of perfidy and their determiaa- tiow to violate their obligations, and 1 warned Erie agalast the threatened and impending ruin, Ass Pennsylvanian, too, I felt a glow of shame—of humilistion—st being told by aliens to onr soil that theyfwould sap her interests, and cegraie her from her sovereignty 2 & highway for New York and Ohio, by buying up Legislature like beef for the shambles. Such were my sentiments, and as such they found utterance, From that hour [ was a marked man—doomed to de struction by these men—and from that hour the s; of rebellion inst the aggressions of foreign Invé™ers, which was then ignited, increased in intensity at expanded in ite proportions, until it cannot be qaeached by writs’? and * ments,” and is only circum scribed by our State limite, The gauge law, which required New York and Ohio to come into our State each upon Ler own width of track, wae repealed, it is trae; but what ia that repeal worth to those through whose conspiracy and fraud it was accom- plished? Legisle tion, thns ‘randulently obtained, besomes # dead letter on the statute book. It is worth no more than blank paper to those who paid ‘“ $50,000, and a hun- drod baskets ot liquoi’? to obtain it. The ordeal of par- liamsentary forms through which it passed cannot divest it of its corruption. The power to appropriate individual rights—-to create end maintaic nuisances in the streets of Frie—take, without the color of law and against the re- mon:trance of townsh:p authorities, one mi of the highway between Buffalo and Erie, in order to make a connection between Buffalo and Cieveland, instead of conatructing their road to the harbor of Erie—has never been hy'iowed by jadicial decisions, vor oan it be forsed by the bayonets of railroad mercenaries. It ia ons of the fandamentel principles of onr government, Iaid down In the great text bock of human freedom, thet all governments are instituted for the welfare and derive their power from the consent of the goveraed, and when by bribery, or from any oth+r esuse, they become subverrive of their ende, it is the daty of the opprem to resist their unlawful exforcement until other rem dies can be applied. This principles iavolves the germ of ail revolutions—to this wo owe our national existe: There feclings were implanted io my breast by ly teachings and they have strengthened in my majuré years, and wheo ! proclaimed that “resistanes to op- pression was obedience to God,” I felt that I was bat echoing the sentiments which warmed and animated the hearts of freemen wherever ‘ey existed. I felt that I could in no stronger way prove my loyalty to the glorious old Commonwealth of |'emnsylvanis; that in no more be fitting manner coald I prove myself worthy to be called her eon. Ie it for this that I aim to be draggei to a tant part of the Stale to answer charges ic @ fed court? for in no otber way have I offended—is it cri ninal to think adversely to the interests of the mighty corpora tions that are winding ‘heir iron folds around, aad sap. nivg tbe vitality of our dearsst rights? Is it crimieal to warn my neighbors of their danger—for ia no other ¢ Toomm.tted crime? I have encouraged no violence have countenan sed uo mob; but my neigobory toa frm, manly, deep and to their legal rights If railroad comporations, in violaticn of the express stipulations of their charters, can change the terminus of taer roads, blocYade the streets cf @ city, create nai- wonees over our heads and {ueder our ifeet—can teka ‘a matle of a township road, which had been used by its in habitants and the pablic generally as a highway for over fifty years, wilhout the paymentof a siagls fartbiug, an’ that, too, ia defiance of the written remonstancs of the constitated authorities of that townrhip; if they can thus violate the sovereigaty of oar S'ats, usurp all autho- rity of law, and place the eeal of an tojunctioa on ony lips to prevent a remonstranee, then has their power at- tained @ fearful maguituds. Such @ power woald stand exort: Cetermined adheren unparalisled in the history of the despots of past ages Because | bave dared to speak out against h a power T have been ruled to & Court, foreign tomy home, to show canee why I chould not suffar a penalty for contempt. According to the lawe of Pennaylvac'a it is a crime to bribe her Legisla yet the railroad men from the #ast and from the west come on to our soil and rudely boast of buying their way through our legislative halls. Is it for feeling and speakiog as a saan and a Pennsylvanian on this subject that Iam required to preseut myself before » United States Court ‘for no other offepee have I c2i- mitted.

Dennis, te sesiat in violating the gauge Jaw, then unrepested, but that it had utterly failed; and I at the same tims more than intimated that my accusers were the men who were justly entitled to the charge—that the ory of ‘stop thief’? was raised against me for the purpose of divertiog paolic attention from themselves.

Istand now where I stood when ‘the leap of nineteen miles”? waa first prcoposed—where I stood when I was charged with having received a bribe: I stand on the fide of the Commonwealth, of Erie, aod of resistanos to ail forme of tyranny; but where até my accasers? Their names and their tréason will stand as a blot on the pages he history of this community, and hence I will now Giemalen them to the anathe nae of a betrayed people Tc will mot be out of place for us to inquire into one otber caure of the difficulty which is agitatiog this oonn- try from Plymouth Rock to the Misviasipp!:—Who ere the Northeast acd Erie board of dizestors, aad what is the history of thetr co:poration? In 1842 the Legislature granted s charter to that company; I voted for it, was told that it was created for the purpore of connecting Frie with s stone quarry. On the 7th of November 1546, ten men get together, they borrow from the Erie bank, for two hours, six hundred dollars—they subscribe each one huncred and twenty shares to the stock of paid com- pany—they organize, elect s treasurer and the first in rtalmert of five per cent, (according to the requ'sitions cf said charter,) is pald with the above named ix hua dred dollars, each in turn wing it until all bad paid in— and then the money is reta to the bank before the expiration of the time for which the money was borrow. ed = Thus the rix hundred dollars is ased in a fraudulent marner ten times over, and fisally flohed from the trea sury of the company, aod returned to the bank from which it borrowed for the purpose of ecmmitting thie fraud. These same men, or most of them, file the necessary affidavit, and thus by fraud obtain the charter. On thisfraadulent stock they elect seven directors; these teven directors let the road to themselves at enor: mous prices—they sub let it at prices below ita actnal cost, and make their payments ip the stook of the com pany; and the result is that the road is built, and: they own & wajority of ita stock without its haviog cost ther » single doilar in money or mc og And to make that stock more valuable they make their road a connecting link to unite the interests of Buffalo and Cleveland—a move which wae never contemplated by their charter, Then follows clore on this train of franda, the bribery and corruption—the usurpation of individual, tewnship and moricipal rights to get past the harbor of Erie~then the uprising of an outraged people, in the defeace of their dearest rights. Then, alvo, comes up the complaints of the defrauded land owners, who had given to this company, {a many eases, the rigbt of way for ® nominal rum, tpon condition that ditches should be dug, fences made, and cattle guards constructed at certain’ points, of which conditions has been complied with on the part of the company. No, the safety of the tra- velling publio—the verbal as well as written agreements of the agents of the company—had no moral foroe in ob- taining redress.

LOWRY, TELEGRAPHIO, PROCEBDINGS IN THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT . AT PITTSBURG. Pirrsnurs, Jan. 11, 1854, In the United Sates Cirouit Court to-day, before Justice Irwin, in the matter of the Erie and Northeast Railroad Company vs. the City of Erie and others, in Chancery, Mr. Hepburn presented the petition of Ira Sherwin, of Harbor Creek, setting forth that the pelsoner is imprisoned in Alleghany county jail for contempt of court, dlsobey ing the injunction enjoining him from doing injury to the track of the railroad company; that notice of the tuls for commitment was served on him on Ist January, to appear apd answer on the 51h January; that the distance between Erie and Pittsburg rendered it impossible for him to procure testimony, and come prepared for a hearing en such shert notice, particularly as the depositions against him were all ex parte, without any notice; had no knowledge of the particular acts alleged aa breaches cf the injunction at the time the moticé was served on him, and a] the attorneysin Erie county being absent, had not the means of obtaining good I; aivice; hence the case was forced to a hearing without any opportanliy for him to procure testimony for defence, or otherwise prepare for the coxtroyersy. The potition also sets forth that the petitioner did not st any time know- ingly cisobey the ic junction, and had not any design to di-obey the same in fatare, but will hereafter keep and observe said injunction. The petition concluded by praying the Court to hear testimony on behalf of the pe- titioner, and make such order in the case as equity and justice may Ccictate. After some rewarks from Mr. Hepburn, Mr. Stanton, couneel for the Railroad Company, made an able argu- ment against the pettions contending that it would be improper for the Court to hear the testimony offered. When the road destroyed by the rloters was restored the Marshal would make such returnas would be proper, and the petitioner could come into Court and make applica- tion for his release Mr. Loomis followed, and Colonel Black and Messrs. Babbitt and Hepburn also addressed the Court in support of the motion Judge Irwin rererved his decision until to morrow, The U. S.
