BDITOR OF THE HERALD. have exhibited a very encom ‘ever since the unanimous decision: against Tapscott. The opinion of Judge Ingraham in that case, although not quite as lenghty or rhetorical as some ju dicial opinions upon constitutional questions of recent dave, eflectually disposes of the pretensions of the Wardens, by showing that the Legislature had sot the power under the constitution to deprive our merchants, shipowners and underwriters of the right of attending to their own bust ness, in the matter of damaged vessels and goods, without the lnterferance of State officers, and that, if they had any such power, the provisions of the law are not broad enough to confer it exclusively on the Wardens. ‘This is a plain, common seuse view of the subject. The Legislature might as well have undertaken to create & board of master masons, or boss carpenters, and prohibit the employment of any other men in housebuilding, under penalty of fine and imprisonment, as t confer on nine wardens the sole right of making surveys of ships and cargoes, and to exclude the rest of mankind from follow ing the business, But places had to be made for ofloe- seekers, and, accordingly, nine of them were pensioned off on the merchants and insurance offices in this way, to the exclusion of the old salts who had been ip the habit for many years of making the surveys required in this port, and who were thus summarily legivlated out of occu pation, ‘The Board of Wardens was organized, and for a time carried matters with a high hand, They commenced penal auits for the recovery of $100—the penalty proseribed by the law for every violation of their prerogatives; there suits were against the old surveyors, and also against owners and consignees employing them; but although the ailoged offences were committed in New York, and the parties snd their counsel were here, strangs lo ,all the suits were brought in Kings county. ‘This at- tempt to avoid trial before New York Judges and juries did net, however, succeed, as aX the cases were removed into this city by the defendants, These suits do vot rao the question of the constitutionality of the jaw on the pleadings. They are for penalties, and before they can be sustained the facts must be made out; and as penal statutes are strictly construed in favor of the parties charged, there is about as much probability of the success of the wardens as there would be in a suit under the old Blue laws. In the meantime, the Marine Surveyors are the who really desired the law to be passed upon by the courts. Its existence on the statute book interfered with their hovest calling, and their employers were sub- jected to the annoyance of suits for fines and pe- naltes. So long as the wardens got the business, they were willing that everybody might think as they pleased abort the question of the validity of the law which gave it tethem, and no great help was to be expected from them in oxpediting the decision of the disputed points. The Marine Surveyors, in this state af things, commenced ‘a suit in the Common Pleas against Tapscott & Ca., to re- cover a bill for services, which that house refused to pay, onthe ground that the Wardens were the only persons who were allowed by law to makesarveys. ‘The question ofthe validity of the law was thus raised, and after trial ani argument, the court decided against the law. The ‘Wardens now raise a great hue and cry against the conrt, the counsel and the parties concerned in this suit of Tink: ham against Tapscott, and have put forth a long winded, solemn manifesto, in official form, authenticated by their President and Secretary, in which’ they undertake to re- verse the decision and satisfy the pubhe that Judge In- graham does not know as much law as the Port Wardens. This is a very curious document; but if the Wardens do mt make a better figure in gettinggat the damages on spars, sails and rigging than they do’ in legal argument, We pity the merchants and underwriters The gist of this ong story seems to be that they were notsufliciently wide awake to discover that anybody was engaged in defending law except themselves, which ts very natural, for they never supposed that anybody ont of their own office had avy interest in sustaining it; and they reiterate a great many times the charge that the suit was collusive and secret, and therefore amounted to nothing. How a ed in open court, is a mystery; but, in fact, the charge of collusion is repeliea by the parties, and is ‘simply absurd. We have seer thio points for the defence, which were before the court, and they areneariy as long asthe Port Wardens’ ma- nifesto, and present their case much better than they do for theinselves. The court had the case nearly two mi under advisement, and finally decided it on groan satisfied everybody except the wardens. The the enme sort of collusion going on all the time wherever the question comes up, and they had better abandon a business which they connot retain except by means of a law which undertakes to provide a living for them at the expense of equally honest people and in violation of the piainest rights of the community.

Refore Uhief Justice Duer and a Jury. Ime, 15.—Hitchcock and Burroughs vs. Ihe Atlantic In surance Company.—This case is stil, before the Court. The particulars have been reported in the Herarn. It will be recollected that it is an action for $16,000 on an insurance policy on a quantity of guns and munitions of war said to be intonded for the invasion of Cuba. The case has oc. cupied the Court several days, and the testimony, which would fil a dozen newspaper columns per day, is still going on. It appears that the plaintiffs, who were as signees, have fallen out, and that a considerable deal of acrimonious feeling bas been engendered between the plaintifls, Hitchcock and Burroughs, and between the lat ter and Mr. Oakemith. Mr. Burroughs was examined at length, and deposed hat be was, “unfortunately ,’’ one of the plaintiff in this suit; he knew Oaksmith in 1883 and '54: knew Gotcoaria; | he Knew of the purchase of the bark Victory; know of a quantity of arms and ammunitions bought by Goicouria, which consisted of a general fit out for three or four thou sand men, there were no rifles or carbines or short rifles purchased of witnesses firm; cannot tell where the Vic tory was lying; we had another vessel called the Abra- sia, and this the Victory were the only ones we could load, [The witness went on to describe the guns, ammu. nition, kc] Mr. Oaksmith had vo interest in the cargo; he was employedgby mo; the cargo was put in his name, Ddecause If it was seized Gotrouria would not allow his name and 1 would allow Hitchooek’s to be used; the agree. ment for the shipment of the cargo was made with Goi couria, who was to give me a sum of money for the ship. ment of the cargo. After some further testimony the witness said he did not know or consent to any assign ment against the insurance company; he knew that an ‘assignment had been made. Q. What was this expedition fitted out for? A. AsT understood, it was to meet some steamer aud put those arms and ammunition on board, but I did not know on what steamer; the Victory carried supplics for 4,000 men ‘On croes-examination by ex Judge Dean, witness said be bad pot been on good terms with Mr. Ilitehcook since their disrolution; he was noton good terms with Mr. Onkemith, he did not know him; he meant he did not recognise him; he believed he is the cause of this troabie, witners believes that the shipment cf arms is not tllegal; he knew that these arms and ammunition were to be used in an illegal expedition; I did not toll the Urited States the real purpose of the voyage; T am not an informer; the vessel was seized; we did not prevent ber from going to sea; it was eaid that b; ing $500 we could get her clear; Mr. new it, we received double the charter money; this ie the only vessel sent by as on this kind ea we sent the schooner Bustamente to Acapulco; I know the steamer Massachusetts; T think goods were pat on board of ber.

A a ae Terdler testimony, asked for the’ pro: that Mr. Oaksmith throw over tho steps, he said that Bur. roughe put bie hand to his breast, as if to pull ‘out. & pletol, and that he (Oaksmith) then threatened te throw I. over the railings; he believed Burroughs to be what he catled him The Judge ordered Mr. Appleton Oakemith to consider bimwelf under arrest, and that he was held to bail in the for contempt of Coort, Mr. Oakemith en. inte the required bail, the conditions of which were that be abould on Saturday, December 19, to abide the order and judgment of the Court.
